Unique Effects of Perimenstrual Estradiol or Progesterone Supplementation on Perimenstrual Suicidality
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Transdermal Estradiol + Placebo, Oral Micronized Progesterone + Placebo, and 1 other intervention for Suicidal Ideation. Completed, enrolled 60 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This within-person, crossover, 3-condition, placebo-controlled study compares the impact of three perimenstrual conditions on severity of suicidal symptoms in females with past-month suicidality but minimal risk of imminent suicide attempt. The three conditions are (1) perimenstrual withdrawal from estradiol only (during progesterone stabilization), (2) perimenstrual withdrawal from progesterone only (during estradiol stabilization), and (3) perimenstrual withdrawal from both estradiol and progesterone during placebo.
