Treatment of Climacteric Symptoms With Ovaria Comp - A Prospective Randomized Placebo Controlled Doubleblind Study

The purpose of this study is to determine whether ovaria comp. is effective in relieving climacteric symptoms.

Complementary treatments for climacteric symptoms are used by many women although their efficacy and safety is mostly unproven.

The use of the complex homeopathic remedy Ovaria comp. for the relief of climacteric symptoms will be examined in this three-armed intervention trial and measured with the menopause rating scale II before and after each study phase of 12 weeks. Participants will receive the verum during two treatment phases of 12 weeks and the placebo during one treatment phase of 12 weeks in different sequences and are stratified for post- and perimenopausal status.
