About this study

We hypothesized that there's difference between follicular phase and luteal phase of normal women in radial pulse waves and tongue figures.

Read the detailed description

As comparing with follicular and menstrual phases of the cycle, in women during the luteal phase, the heart rate, body temperature, foot skin temperature and body weight were significantly increased. Tongue inspection and pulse examination are two methods that Chinese medical doctors are used in the diagnosis of patterns. Pulse wave analysis of the radial artery is a non-invasive, widely applicable technique for assessing cardiovascular function. Radial artery waveforms have been demonstrated being associated with the blood pressure wave of ascending and central aorta, the function of left ventricle , the arterial wall properties and the endothelial function. Even when measure locally, carries characteristic information from the whole arterial system because of reflection of waves at distinct sites of the arterial system. Examination of the changes of the arterial pulse wave between follicular phase may offer valuable insights into cardiovascular physiologic feature in menstrual cycle. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that the cyclic variations in hemodynamic and volume parameters during the menstrual cycle among normal healthy women. To that end we compared the following parameter of radial pulse contour between late follicular and late luteal time point: percussion wave, the difference between dicrotic wave and dicrotic notch, and the area of the wave.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Healthy, run by China Medical University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Oct 2006. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Taiwan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Shan-Yu Su, MD (886-4-22052121 ext. 5065, shanyusu@yahoo.com.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00357838, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Oct 2006.
