About this study

In this study, the patients were divided into exposed and non-exposed groups based on whether or not they were taking Liuwei Dihuang Pills.

The patients in the non-exposed group were treated routinely, and the patients in the exposed group were treated routinely + Liuwei Dihuang Pills. The patients in the exposed group were required to take the medication according to the dosage instructions for at least 4 consecutive weeks. Combined use of drugs is allowed without interfering with the treatment plan, and the use of drugs and combined use of drugs should be recorded truthfully, including the dose, duration, frequency, and so on. The type of drugs used in combination and the corresponding daily dose, daily frequency and duration of treatment. During the course of treatment, patients in both groups were required to receive follow-up assessment once every 4 weeks. Termination of the study included death, loss of patients, or achievement of study endpoints.

Primary outcomes

  1. Change of Menopausal Symptoms

    Time frame: 4 weeks

    The Kupperman Rating Scale is a global tool for assessing menopausal symptoms. It has 13 items covering common perimenopausal symptoms like hot flashes, sweating, paresthesia, insomnia, irritability, depression, dizziness, fatigue, arthralgia, headache, palpitations, formication, urinary infections, and sexual status. Each item is weighted and summed for a total score of 0-63. A lower score means more severe perimenopausal symptoms.The modified Kupperman Rating Scale will be used to assess menopausal symptoms. Participants will complete the questionnaire before, after treatment, and during follow-up. Researchers will calculate the total score.

  2. Change of Hormone Levels

    Time frame: 4 weeks

    Sex hormone levels are key for evaluating the endocrine status of menopausal women. In patients with menopausal syndrome, sex hormone levels show elevated Follicle-Stimulating Hormone and Luteinizing Hormone, and reduced Estradiol. High Follicle-Stimulating Hormone points to ovarian dysfunction. Changes in the Luteinizing Hormone/Follicle-Stimulating Hormone ratio may be linked to polycystic ovary syndrome, and decreased Estradiol is associated with ovarian failure.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change of Quality in life

    Time frame: 4 weeks

    The Menopause-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire assesses menopausal women's quality of life, covering four dimensions: vasomotor symptoms, psychosocial state, physical state, and sexual life, with 29 items in total. Each item is scored from 0 to 6, where 0 means no distress and 6 means extreme distress. The average score of items in each dimension is calculated. A higher score indicates lower quality of life in that dimension.

  2. Change of TCM Syndrome Scores

    Time frame: 4 weeks

    The TCM syndrome score sheet, designed as per TCM theory, assesses menopausal patients' TCM syndromes, covering symptoms and signs inTCM, etc.Changes in TCM syndrome scores for menopausal syndrome reflect improvement or worsening. The scale uses a semi - quantitative grading method, assigning scores of 0, 1, 2, or 3 to represent the severity of symptoms in menopausal syndrome patients. The scores are added up to form the total syndrome score, with a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 42. A higher score means a more serious condition.
