Stress and menstrual health study
Part of Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how stress affects menstrual health in women. It tests whether certain behaviors, like exercise, might help, so researchers are looking for women who are generally inactive but otherwise healthy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a woman between 22 and 38 years old, before menopause.
- Your body mass index (BMI) must be between 18.5 and 30.0 — not too low and not too high.
- You must not be using any hormonal birth control (like the pill, patch, shot, implant, or IUD).
- You must not have had a baby, been pregnant, or breastfed in the last 6 months, and you must not have a condition that stops your periods (functional hypothalamic amenorrhea).
- You must not have a reproductive disorder like endometriosis or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and you must not be taking thyroid medication.
- For the exercise part of the trial, you must be inactive — meaning you do less than 1 hour of moderate or vigorous exercise per week.
