简要总结
This clinical trial, a double blind randomized controlled trial, is conducted to determine the effects of daily topical visnadin, ethyl ximeninate, coleus barbatus and millet in emulgel on sexual function in postmenopausal women with vulvovaginal atrophy within 8-week of treatment. We compare the active ingredient in emulgel to the emulgel only. We also evaluate the improvement of the vulvovaginal atrophy symptoms in postmenopausal women, the safety and the tolerability of visnadin, ethyl ximeninate, coleus barbatus and millet in emulgel. This study is conducted in the Menopause Clinic and the Gynecology Clinic, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand.
详细描述
Topical visnadin, ethyl ximeninate, coleus barbatus and millet in emulgel is a cosmetic product. Visnadin is an active ingredient which has the vasodilator effect and improve blood flow to female vulvovaginal area. This will improve lubrication from increase Bartholin's gland secretion. As the clitoral blood flow increase, the sexual response could be improved. The ethyl ximeninate, coleus barbatus and millet are plant extract which have moisturizer, anti-inflammation and antioxidant effects. Our hypothesis is a daily topical visnadin, ethyl ximeninate, coleus barbatus and millet in emulgel could improved sexual function and vulvovaginal atrophic symptoms in postmenopausal women with vulvovaginal atrophy.

结局指标
主要结局
Vulvovaginal atrophic symptoms score
时间窗: 8-week
4-likert scale; 0 = no symptom, 1= mild symptom, 2 = moderate symptom, 3 = severe symptom The minimum is 0 and maximum value is 4, and the higher scores mean a worse outcome.
