Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Percent change in vulvovaginal symptom questionnaire (VSQ) score
The VSQ is a 21-item survey designed to measure vaginal symptoms, emotions, life impact due to vulvovaginal symptoms, and sexual impact of vulvovaginal symptoms. The scores range from 0 - 20 with the higher score meaning greater impact from vulvovaginal symptoms.
Baseline, Week 16
Secondary Outcomes (3)
Percent change in vaginal pH
Baseline, Week 16
Change in vaginal maturation index (VMI)
Baseline, Week 16
Number of adverse events related to treatment
Week 16
Study Arms (2)
Vaginal Estrogen + Hyaluronic acid (HLA)
EXPERIMENTALParticipants will administer vaginal estrogen tablets nightly for 2 weeks, then twice weekly for 14 weeks. Participants will concomitantly apply Via (Hyaluronic acid) nightly for 16 weeks.
Vaginal Estrogen Alone
ACTIVE COMPARATORParticipants will administer vaginal estrogen tablets nightly for 2 weeks, then twice weekly for 14 weeks.
Interventions
The dosage of the vaginal estrogen will be one 10mcg tablet administered vaginally nightly for 2 weeks, then administered vaginally twice weekly for 14 weeks.
The dosage of Via will be a pea-sized amount applied vaginally along the vaginal and vulvar walls nightly for 16 weeks.
