Background: Hot flashes, common during menopause, affect up to 80% of the Western menopausal women and are reported to contribute to sleep disturbances in midlife. Few prospective data are available to confirm the specific role of hot flashes in disrupting sleep in midlife women, however, or confirm whether changes in hot flashes in response to clinical therapies result in improvement in sleep.
Objective: To examine the effects of continuous nitroglycerin therapy on sleep quality in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women with frequent hot flashes (pre-specified secondary trial endpoint) and to examine prospective associations between hot flashes and sleep disruption in this population.
