Women going through menopause frequently experience vasomotor symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and sleep disturbances, significantly influencing their quality of life. Hormonal therapy has been demonstrated to be beneficial in treating VMS. However, due to specific restrictions, it is not recommended for every woman. Fezolinetant, a neurokinin 3 antagonist and non-hormonal treatment for severe to moderate VMS, functions by inhibiting neuronal impulses originating from the hypothalamic thermoregulatory center. Current Skylight 2 and 4 trials statistically demonstrate the safety and acceptability of fezolinetant, with relatively few adverse effects reported. Fezolinetant has been shown great potential for treating menopausal-related VMS, supporting its further advancement. However, further investigation is required to thoroughly evaluate its safety, effectiveness, and its impact on sleep patterns.

Purpose: Dysfunction of vasomotor reactions due to arteriolar smooth muscle causes serious adverse events, such as loss of hemodynamic coherence. This in turn can increase risks of cardiovascular-related diseases. A noninvasive and quantitative evaluation of microvascular disorder is therefore very important for early diagnosis and treatment.

Background: For patients who experience atypical neurogenic pain thought to be complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) after Dupuytren's fasciectomy early recognition has been reported to improve outcomes. Furthermore, given the progressive nature of Dupuytren's, individuals with a history of CRPS have been "at risk" for further surgical intervention.
Purpose: To familiarize therapists with a Budapest criteria (BC) checklist for early diagnosis of CRPS, describe how tracking sudomotor/vasomotor signs alongside differences in skin temperature were used to monitor vasomotor instability and intervention effectiveness for a patient with atypical pain after fasciectomy and to detail management of the same patient with a CRPS history who had collagenase clostridium histolyticum (CCH) injection of her other hand without exacerbating CRPS.

Purpose: Uterine fibroids are the most common pelvic tumors in women, representing the primary indication of hysterectomy. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists represent a new therapeutic option for premenopausal women. The aim of this review is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of GnRH antagonists in the treatment of uterine fibroids (size reduction and symptom control).
