NCT ID NCT07406412
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 120 women aged 35-50 who are having their ovaries removed (oophorectomy) for non-cancer reasons. Researchers will track changes in quality of life, heart health, brain function, and body fat over one year. Some women may start hormone therapy as part of routine care, and the study will compare outcomes between those who do and those who don't.
