Summary

We plan to enroll premenopausal women in a trial investigating the impact of hot flashes developed in response to an injection of a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa), leuprolide (brand name: Lupron), on sleep disruption and mood. This study is designed to mimic the menopause transition. We will collect data on sleep disruption and mood changes to assess their relationship to the development of hot flashes.
