DT56a in treatment of climacteric syndrome in the Central European population sample

[摘要] OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to assess the possibility of using the DT56a for the therapy of acute climacteric syndrome in women in Slovakia and the Czech Republic. DESIGN: Prospective interventional unblinded study. RESULTS: A sample of 453 women with symptoms of acute climacteric syndrome took 644 mg of soybeans´ phyotestrogenes DT56a in the period of 4 weeks. In course of the therapy, the total number of hot flushes decreased by 48 %, and the intensity decreased by 35 % (p < 0.01). In 85 % of women, the quantity or intensity of hot flushes decreased. Sleep quality increased in 65 % of women, headaches improved or significantly improved in 51 % of women, muscle aches and joint pains decreased by 40 %. Life quality improved in 72 % of women. CONCLUSIONS: DT56a is a possible alternative for the treatment of acute climacteric syndrome. In the Central European population, the efficacy of a daily dose of 644 mg corresponds with the effects observed in the Mediterranean population (Tab. 2, Fig. 3, Ref. 21).
