Complementary treatments for climacteric symptoms are used by many women although their efficacy and safety is mostly unproven.

The use of the complex homeopathic remedy Ovaria comp. for the relief of climacteric symptoms will be examined in this three-armed intervention trial and measured with the menopause rating scale II before and after each study phase of 12 weeks.
