Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is designed to determine whether an extract of Cimicifuga Foetida L. is safe and efficacious to relieve the climacteric symptoms of Chinese women

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Extracts of Cimicifuga Racemosa (black cohosh) have been widely used in North America and Europe for decades for the treatment of menopause related problems, either as nutritional supplements or as pharmaceutical products. Previous clinical trials had shown that an extract of Cimicifuga Foetida L.(Ximingting, Luyepharm), which was standardized to have similar components of an extract of Cimicifuga Racemosa, was safe and efficacious to relieve the climacteric symptoms and signs in Chinese women who were recruited according to criteria categorized by theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine.We are interested to know whether it may have the same efficacy and safety profiles when judged with method and standard commonly accepted in western medicine.
