Study summary

This clinical trial, a double blind randomized controlled trial, is conducted to determine the effects of daily topical visnadin, ethyl ximeninate, coleus barbatus and millet in emulgel on sexual function in postmenopausal women with vulvovaginal atrophy within 8-week of treatment. We compare the active ingredient in emulgel to the emulgel only. We also evaluate the improvement of the vulvovaginal atrophy symptoms in postmenopausal women, the safety and the tolerability of visnadin, ethyl ximeninate, coleus barbatus and millet in emulgel. This study is conducted in the Menopause Clinic and the Gynecology Clinic, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand.

Read the detailed description

Topical visnadin, ethyl ximeninate, coleus barbatus and millet in emulgel is a cosmetic product. Visnadin is an active ingredient which has the vasodilator effect and improve blood flow to female vulvovaginal area. This will improve lubrication from increase Bartholin's gland secretion. As the clitoral blood flow increase, the sexual response could be improved. The ethyl ximeninate, coleus barbatus and millet are plant extract which have moisturizer, anti-inflammation and antioxidant effects. Our hypothesis is a daily topical visnadin, ethyl ximeninate, coleus barbatus and millet in emulgel could improved sexual function and vulvovaginal atrophic symptoms in postmenopausal women with vulvovaginal atrophy.

BMI (body mass index)

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.

What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Sexual function

    Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) The full scale (overall) score of the FSFI can be derived from the six domain scores; desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction and pain. The minimum value is 2.0 and maximum value is 36.0, and the higher scores mean a better outcome.

    Time frame: 8-week

  2. Vulvovaginal atrophic symptoms score

    4-likert scale; 0 = no symptom, 1= mild symptom, 2 = moderate symptom, 3 = severe symptom The minimum is 0 and maximum value is 4, and the higher scores mean a worse outcome.

    Time frame: 8-week

Secondary outcomes

  1. Adverse event and tolerability

    Possible adverse event of therapeutic use

    Time frame: 8-week

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Mar 22, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
