Vaginal estrogen vs. platelet-rich plasma for menopause symptoms
Treatments studied
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two treatments for vaginal and urinary symptoms caused by menopause: vaginal estrogen cream and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections. The goal is to see which treatment works better and is safer for women experiencing these symptoms.

This study tests a vaginal estrogen tablet (like Vagifem) compared with a vaginal moisturizer (like Replens) to see which works better at improving menopause-related vaginal symptoms and the health of vaginal bacteria in women with HIV.
This study compares two vaginal treatments—DHEA and estradiol—to help relieve common menopause symptoms like dryness, itching, or discomfort during sex. You'll use vaginal therapy (applied directly where symptoms occur) and help researchers understand which works better.
This trial tests whether a treatment made from your own blood (platelet-rich plasma, or PRP) can help reduce urine leakage in women with stress urinary incontinence. You may be eligible if you've already tried pelvic floor exercises without enough relief and you're looking for another option.
This trial tests whether injecting your own PRP (platelet-rich plasma) into the ovaries can improve ovarian function in some menopausal women. It may help those whose menopause seems less advanced, but not everyone will be eligible based on health and test results.
This trial tests hormone implants (estradiol and testosterone) to treat menopause symptoms in women who have had their ovaries and uterus removed due to cervical cancer, or who have early menopause. The implants are placed under the skin and may help with hot flashes, mood, and sexual health.
This study tests whether placing your own platelet-rich plasma (a liquid made from your blood that helps healing) into the uterus before an embryo transfer can help the uterine lining grow thicker and improve the chances of a successful pregnancy.
