Estrogen patch in healthy women after menopause
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether using an estrogen patch (a hormone replacement) affects heart health in healthy women after menopause. You might participate if you are generally healthy and in early menopause, and the study will help understand how estrogen influences cardiovascular risk.

This study follows people through menopause to better understand how the body changes and how that may affect heart health risk. You may be asked for health checks over time, as researchers look for factors that increase or protect against heart problems.
This study looks at how estrogen therapy affects heart health in women with primary ovarian insufficiency (early menopause). Participants will take a standard estrogen patch and progesterone pill, and researchers will monitor their heart function over time.
This study tests a new skin patch that releases two hormones (estradiol and levonorgestrel) to see how it affects the skin. It is for healthy postmenopausal women and checks for any irritation or allergic reactions.
