Treatment Summary

Norethisterone is a synthetic hormone that mimics the effects of the natural hormone progesterone. It is classified as a second-generation progestin and is used in combination with estrogen derivatives for contraception and hormone replacement therapy. Norethisterone was first created in 1951 and was originally used to treat irregular menstruation and endometriosis. It was not approved for use as an oral contraceptive until 1962.

Effectiveness

How Loestrin 21 1/20 Affects Patients

Norethisterone is a man-made hormone used to prevent pregnancy or treat other hormone-related issues like menopause and endometriosis. It is more potent than the body's natural progesterone and works by changing the function of the cervix and uterus, as well as blocking hormones in the brain that are involved in ovulation. Taking norethisterone may slightly increase the risk of breast cancer, so patients should be aware of this and perform regular breast self-exams.

How Loestrin 21 1/20 works in the body

Norethisterone is a hormone that helps prevent pregnancy. It works by increasing the thickness and amount of cervical mucus, which prevents sperm from entering the uterus. It also alters the endometrium, making it difficult for an egg to attach. Norethisterone also suppresses the release of hormones that cause ovulation. In menopausal women, norethisterone is added to hormone replacement therapy to reduce the risk of endometrial hyperplasia, which can lead to cancer. Norethisterone has a low affinity for other hormones, but it may be linked to some side effects like acne and changes

Loestrin 21 1/20 for Abnormal Bleeding from the Uterus

I've been on this medication for several years now and have had zero issues. My period comes every 6-8 weeks and lasts around 2 1/2 days. Additionally, I barely get cramps when I do menstruate. Overall, I'm really happy with this product and don't plan on changing it anytime soon.

Loestrin 21 1/20 for Birth Control

I've been spotting and heavily bleeding for the first month, but I'm hoping my body will adjust to the medication. I've also had bad stomach aches (although this may be from poor diet choices), mood swings, and other side effects. However, I am hopeful that this medication will help shrink the endometriosis tumor on my abdominal wall in the next few months.

Loestrin 21 1/20 for Birth Control

Loestrin 21 1/20 for Birth Control

I took this for HRT purposes and experienced weight gain; however, I would recommend taking it before bed. I was still able to get relief by halving each pill. They were a godsend while I was on them, from age 50-62.

Loestrin 21 1/20 for Disease of Ovaries with Cysts

I switched to this birth control from Yasmin and there is a significant difference. On Yasmin, I was severely depressed, but on Loestrin, I am back to normal! The reason I did not give it the total of 5 stars is because my cramps are BRUTAL on this pill, but I'll take a period from hell over depression and irregular periods any day... LOVE this pill!

EBQI Strategies for Women's Health

West Los Angeles, CA

Women Veterans are the fastest growing segment of VA users, with most users in midlife. This dramatic growth has created challenges for VA to ensure that appropriate services are available to meet women Veterans' needs, and that they will want and be able to use those services. Furthermore, few VA improvement efforts have focused on women Veterans' health and health care in midlife. The EMPOWER QUERI 3.0 Program is a cluster randomized type 3 hybrid implementation-effectiveness trial testing two strategies designed to support implementation and sustainment of evidence-based practices for women Veterans in at least 18 VA facilities from 4 regions.

The goal of this investigational device exemption is to evaluate the Epione assistance for introducer placement during percutaneous procedures in musculo-skeletic (MSK) structures of the pelvis and the spine in adults. The main question is the determination of the rate of feasible procedures assisted by the Epione device Participants will undergo their procedure(s) as planned by their physician. If they accept to participate to the study, the differences with standard of care will be: * The use of the Epione device to place the introducer(s), instead of freehand placement if they do not participate * Additional CT or CBCT scans during the procedure.

Virtual Chiropractic Intervention for Spinal Fracture

18+
All Sexes
Waterloo, Canada

This study will determine feasibility of a chiropractor delivered virtual intervention for individuals following osteoporotic vertebral fracture. This pilot trial will have two parallel groups with a 1:1 ratio. Participants will be randomized to: 1) immediate receipt; or 2) waitlist usual care control and delayed receipt of VIVA 10 weeks post-randomization. VIVA is an intervention for people with vertebral fractures that covers four areas: pain management, safe movement, exercise, and nutrition. It includes print and video resources, and a framework for goal setting, selecting exercises, and teaching body mechanics. A chiropractor (DC) completes a virtual assessment and then leads twelve 1:1 virtual sessions (via Zoom) over eight weeks. Sessions start with brief education on a topic (e.g., safe movement, pain management, exercise, nutrition), followed by training and modeling of exercise and safe movement strategies, then goal setting, and action planning. This trial will be considered feasible if a) we recruit 14 people in eight months; b) 80% of participants complete the trial; and c) exercise adherence is 75%.

Sculptra + Restylane for Post-Menopausal Skin Concerns

40 - 65
Female
Montreal, Canada

The post-menopausal state is marked by a sharp decline in estrogen, leading to significant structural and functional changes in the skin, including collagen loss, dryness, thinning, and reduced elasticity. To address these concerns, aesthetic injectables products such as Sculptra® Aesthetic (poly-L-lactic-acid \[PLLA- SCA\]) and Restylane Skinboosters®\[HASBV\] (small-particle hyaluronic acid - SP-HA) can be used. PLLA-SCA stimulates collagen production via cellular activation (biostimulator), gradually improving dermal structure. HASBV enhances hydration, elasticity, and skin texture when injected under the skin. Considering that hydration and laxity represent the primary aesthetic concerns in this patient population. Targeted treatment with SP-HA (HASBV) to improve hydration and PLLA-SCA to address laxity have been shown to produce significant clinical outcomes by directly addressing these key dermal deficiencies. This approach forms the basis of the current study.

Ketamine for Pelvic Pain

18 - 89
Female
Cleveland, OH

The purpose of this research study is to see if ketamine infusion during surgery can decrease pain after surgery. Ketamine is a medication commonly used as part of anesthesia during surgery and is approved by the US FDA. Patients will be randomized to either receive standard anesthesia with OR without ketamine. The surgical procedure will be the same regardless of which group patients are randomized to. After surgery, patients will be asked to rate their pain in the post-operative observation unit and at their two-week post-operative visit. No additional visits are required for participation in this study. The investigators estimate the surveys will take approximately 10 minutes to complete.
