The primary purpose of this study is to employ state-of-the-art methods to fill current knowledge gaps on the effects of the menstrual cycle on resistance exercise training adaptations. This work will reduce the sex gap present in exercise physiology, improving women's health information by yielding a deeper understanding of the effect of female physiology on exercise adaptations and subsequent health benefits. Employing a unilateral training design, participant's will have their legs randomized to one of four groups: non-exercise control (CON), exercise control (EX), Follicular based training (FOL), Luteal based training (LUT) Researchers will compare these conditions to see if there are greater benefits to prioritizing resistance training around phases of the menstrual cycle,

Females treated with antipsychotics have higher rates of comorbid metabolic syndrome than males. Despite this, females have historically been excluded from many mechanistic studies due to confounding effects of menstrual cycles. Recent evidence suggests that brain insulin resistance may be an underlying mechanism through which antipsychotics may exert their metabolic side effects. This study seeks to investigate how brain insulin action differs in females according to their menstrual cycle phase, and how a high metabolic liability agent such as olanzapine might interrupt these differential insulin effects. Young healthy females will be given olanzapine and intranasal insulin to test how these treatment combinations change brain processes. Participants will be tested during both the first half of their menstrual cycle (follicular phase) and the second half of their cycle (luteal phase). The investigators predict that intranasal insulin will change MRI-based measures in females, in a comparable way to males, in the follicular phase only. Adding olanzapine will block these effects of insulin in females in the follicular phase. This investigation has the potential to generate new knowledge in an area of significant unmet need. Demonstrating that antipsychotics disrupt brain insulin action, evidenced by inhibition of recognized effects of insulin on neuroimaging measures, will provide novel insights into currently poorly understood mechanisms.

Studies across various sports and physical activities have consistently shown that females incur more injuries compared to their male counterparts, but the underlying reasons for this disparity remain poorly understood. While differences in hormone levels between males and females have been speculated to play a role, very little rigorous research has been conducted to directly examine potential connections between sex hormones and injury risk. Specifically, females have been shown to be at greater risk for hand and wrist injuries. The higher injury incidence begins at puberty and persists across the lifespan, suggesting a link to hormonal factors. However, significant gaps remain in understanding the relationships between the menstrual cycle, exogenous hormones from birth control, and risk factors for sports-related injury in females. The purpose of this study is to examine changes in muscle strength and neuromuscular activation among females using monophasic oral contraceptives, females not using oral contraceptives, and males during one week of wrist/hand immobilization.

This is a research study of female athletes participating in at least one running/cutting sport, who have no current conditions that would limit ability to perform sport-like movement tasks (such as running or jumping), and have reported to be post-menarche (a regular period). The purpose of this study is to leverage the menstrual cycle (MC) to improve the success of a neuromuscular training program (NTP) that has been shown to reduce high-risk movement patterns in adolescent females. The findings of this study may not only help develop more effective, personalized injury prevention strategies for female athletes, but may also have the potential to reduce ACL injury rates while improving long-term physical activity and health for active females. The researchers hope that this information may help reduce ACL injury rates and enhance long-term musculoskeletal health in female athletes, while promoting greater equity in sports medicine and performance training. Participants will be asked to wear an Oura Ring (a ring that is placed on a finger of the non-dominant hand) that will be used to track their menstrual cycle phases. The Oura Ring will be connected using a software called "Natural Cycles", which will sync to either a smart phone via Bluetooth, or data from the device can be downloaded to an iPad utilized by the research team. Participants will also take part in an 8-week Neuromuscular Training Program (NTP), that consists of two 30-minute training sessions per week, which will include dynamic exercises designed to improve strength and power, balance, and stability, as well as help to build a foundation of muscular endurance. Before starting the training program, participants will be asked to complete several questionnaires focused on activity level, sport participation characteristics, sport-related injury history, and menstrual cycle history, and both before and after completing the training program, participant movement patterns may be evaluated. For the training program, participants will be randomized into one of two groups - one that syncs the training type to the participant's menstrual cycle and one that does not. All participants will receive the same exercises, however, a participant's assigned group will determine when they receive certain exercises. Participation in this study is completely voluntary. Participation is expected to last up to 7 months. This is a minimal risk research study. There is a small risk of falling during movement tasks, skin irritation from tape that is used during movement evaluation, psychological stress from survey questions, and loss of confidentiality. To minimize these risks, participants may request rest breaks or stop participating at any time. Participants may also refuse to answer any questions that are asked, and all information collected from this research will be stored in a secure electronic database. This information known as "data" will not be shared with any person outside of the study team. There is no benefit to participants who participate in this research study. However, the investigators hope the information gathered from this research may benefit others in the future.

The primary aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate how fasted prolonged exercise may influence circulating reproductive hormones (i.e., estradiol, progesterone, luteinizing hormone) and menstrual cycle length when energy availability is maintained at or above 30 kcal/kg lean body mass/ day among women who regularly do running or cycling exercise. A secondary aim is to determine the effects of fasted prolonged exercise on serum leptin and cortisol. Participants will be asked to do the following over a \~3 month enrollment period: * attend a laboratory visit at the beginning of the study to have their resting metabolic rate, aerobic fitness, and body composition tested * monitor their menstrual cycle length, urine hormones, perceived stress levels, and diet for \~3 months * complete 3, 90-minute exercise sessions on a stationary bike or treadmill either fed (consuming a carbohydrate meal 1 h prior and 0.7 g carbohydrate/ kg body mass/ h during exercise) or fasted (consuming no meal prior and no carbohydrates during exercise) during month \~3 * saliva samples will be taken prior to and after 90-minute exercise sessions for quantification of leptin and cortisol

Leucine Intake for Menstruation

Vancouver, British Columbia
The existing guidelines for dietary amino acid intake for women are set the same as those established for men. These recommendations might not be appropriate for women, as they do not take into consideration important differences between male and female physiology, like the menstrual cycle. This study aims to determine the leucine requirements during the phases of the menstrual cycle. Leucine is an essential amino acid (cannot be made naturally in the body) and is necessary for protein synthesis, and other important cellular functions. Consuming an adequate amount daily is crucial for maintaining overall health. An innovative, non-invasive technique utilizing pre-determined diets, safe stable isotopes, and a simple breath collection method will be used. Previous work done by Elango Lab investigators has applied this method to investigate other amino acids in pregnant, non-pregnant, and lactating women.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Menstruation clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Menstruation clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Menstruation trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Menstruation is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Menstruation medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Menstruation clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Menstrual Cycle-Synced Training for ACL Injury, Acupuncture for Menstrual Irregularities and Volta System for Menorrhagia to the Power online platform.
