Treatment Summary

Norethisterone (also known as norethindrone) is a hormone medication used to treat menstrual irregularity and endometriosis.

Effectiveness

How Norethindrone And Ethinyl Estradiol Affects Patients

Norethisterone is a type of medicine taken by mouth that is used for birth control or to treat other hormone-related conditions. It is a much stronger version of the hormone progesterone, and works by changing the cervical and endometrial function, as well as blocking hormones that are linked to ovulation. Taking this medicine may slightly increase the risk of developing breast cancer, so patients should be aware of this risk and do regular self-examinations to check for any lumps or masses.

How Norethindrone And Ethinyl Estradiol works in the body

Norethisterone works by changing the environment of the reproductive tract to make it harder for sperm to move around, and making the endometrium inhospitable for implantation. It also suppresses the release of hormones that help with ovulation, preventing eggs from being released. When used in hormone replacement therapy, it suppresses the growth of the endometrium, reducing the risk of cancer. Finally, it has a low affinity for other hormone receptors, but can still cause some adverse effects like acne and changes in lipids.

Patient Review

Norethindrone And Ethinyl Estradiol for Painful Periods

This medication has been wonderful for me. It's helped regulate my periods and made them much shorter and less painful. It's also an effective form of birth control. The only issue I had was some spotting when I first started taking the pills, but that resolved after a couple of months as my body adjusted to the hormones.

Norethindrone And Ethinyl Estradiol for Painful Periods

This medication has been great for both my heavy, painful periods and as a form of birth control. My periods are now only one or two days long, which is such a relief. The spotting I experienced in the first few months stopped once my body adjusted to the new hormones.

Norethindrone And Ethinyl Estradiol for Birth Control

I've been taking this medication for over a year now with no issues. I have had unprotected sex during this time period and have not gotten pregnant, so I can attest to its reliability. The only downside is that I think it's made it harder for me to lose weight and I get nauseous more easily.

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.
