Ovarian Hormone Withdrawal and Suicide Risk: An Experimental Approach
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Estradiol Transdermal Patch 0.1 mg/24 hrs, Oral Micronized Progesterone, and 2 other interventions for Suicidal Ideation. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This within-person, crossover, 2-condition, placebo-controlled study compares the impact of two perimenstrual conditions on severity of suicidal symptoms in females with past-month suicidality but minimal risk of imminent suicide attempt. The two conditions are (1) natural perimenstrual withdrawal from estradiol and progesterone (during placebo), (2) perimenstrual stabilization of estradiol and progesterone using transdermal estradiol and oral micronized progesterone.
