Observational Study With Food Product to Evaluate the Quality of Life of Healthy Postmenopausal Women Who Take Coenzyme Q-Ubiquinol, Compared With Another Group of the Same Age That Does Not Take coenzymeQ-Ubiquinol

Observational study about quality of life in postmenopausal women taking coenzyme Q compared to another group of women of the same age who do not take it

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Observational study to evaluate the subjective assessment performed by healthy postmenopausal women who are taking coenzyme Q for 3 months, compared with other groups of the same characteristics that do not take it

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change from Baseline Quality of Life at 3 months
Time Frame: Baseline and 3 months
To evaluate the quality of life in healthy postmenopausal women who are taking Coenzyme Q-Ubiquinol for 3 months in comparison with another group that does not take them. The Cervantes Health-Related Quality of Life scale for menopause will be used for this outcome. In that scale next to the 0 and the 5 there are words that describe two opposite answers to the question. Between the 0 and the 5 there are also four boxes numbered 1 to 4. The participants should answer the questions by checking the box that best represents what they think and feel. In other words, they should check 5 if they are completely agree and 0 they are completely disagree. If they are not completely agree or disagree, they should check the boxes in between
Baseline and 3 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change from Baseline General Health at 3 months
Time Frame: Baseline and 3 months
Health Scale Euroqol EQ-5D will be used for this outcome
Baseline and 3 months
Change from Baseline Mood at three months
Time Frame: Baseline and 3 months
An analogic scale will be used for this outcome in wich 0 points is the best mood and 10 points is worst mood
Baseline and 3 months
Change from Baseline Cramps at three months
Time Frame: Baseline and 3 months
To assess changes in cramps in patients who had them, a general questionnaire about Cramps will be used to assess mainly the intensity and frequency of crambs. Regarding the intensity 0 is the lower pain and 10 is the worst pain
