Brief Summary

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

Randomized (1:1), double-blind, sham-controlled, 2-arm parallel study comparing effectiveness and safety of non-hormonal medical device versus sham device to treat VVA in post-menopausal women.

Detailed Description

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

After screening and baseline assessment, participants, ages 21 to 65 years of age, will be randomized and followed for a 12-week intervention period. After the primary endpoint evaluation at week 12, each participant in both arms will immediately commence an open label period using an Active device for week 13 to 1 year to collect further effectiveness and safety data.
