摘　　要：Background：As a Chinese Traditional Medicine product,Kuntai capsule could improve the peri-menopausal symptoms in postmenopausal women.But it is still not clear whether Kuntai capsule has a good effect on alleviating peri-menopausal symptoms induced by gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist （GnRH-a） treatment.The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical effectiveness and safety of Kuntai capsule,on peri-menopausal symptoms in endometriosis （EMS） patients,with postoperative GnRH-a treatment.Methods：Ninety EMS ovarian cyst women with postoperative GnRH-a administration were enrolled in the study,and were randomly divided into Kuntai group,Tibolone group,or blank Control group.The therapeutic strategy in Kuntai group was 4 Kuntai capsules tid,po for 12 weeks after the first GnRH-a injection,while Tibolone 2.5 mg qd,po for 12 weeks in Tibolone group.There was no drug addition in Control group.Climacteric complaints were evaluated by Kupperman menopausal index （KMI） and hot flash/sweating score.Liver and renal functions,lipid profile,serum sex hormone levels and endometrial thickness were measured,and the frequency of adverse events in Kuntai and Tibolone groups was recorded.Results：（l） Before GnRH-a therapy,the baseline parameter results were comparable in the three groups （P ＞ 0.05）.（2） After GnRH-a therapy,KMI and hot flash/sweating scores in all the three groups increased significantly （P ＜ 0.05）.At the 4th week after GnRH-a therapy,KMI and hot flash/sweating score results were as follows：Control group ＞ Kuntai group ＞ Tibolone group （P ＜ 0.05）; at the 8th and 12th week after GnRH-a therapy,KMI and hot flash/sweating score in Control group were significantly higher than the other two groups （P ＜ 0.05）,and no significant difference was identified between Kuntai and Tibolone group （P ＞ 0.05）.（3） No statistical change took place in the liver and renal functions and lipid profile in all the three groups after the treatment （P ＞ 0.05）.Background：As a Chinese Traditional Medicine product,Kuntai capsule could improve the peri-menopausal symptoms in postmenopausal women.But it is still not clear whether Kuntai capsule has a good effect on alleviating peri-menopausal symptoms induced by gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist （GnRH-a） treatment.The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical effectiveness and safety of Kuntai capsule,on peri-menopausal symptoms in endometriosis （EMS） patients,with postoperative GnRH-a treatment.Methods：Ninety EMS ovarian cyst women with postoperative GnRH-a administration were enrolled in the study,and were randomly divided into Kuntai group,Tibolone group,or blank Control group.The therapeutic strategy in Kuntai group was 4 Kuntai capsules tid,po for 12 weeks after the first GnRH-a injection,while Tibolone 2.5 mg qd,po for 12 weeks in Tibolone group.There was no drug addition in Control group.Climacteric complaints were evaluated by Kupperman menopausal index （KMI） and hot flash/sweating score.Liver and renal functions,lipid profile,serum sex hormone levels and endometrial thickness were measured,and the frequency of adverse events in Kuntai and Tibolone groups was recorded.Results：（l） Before GnRH-a therapy,the baseline parameter results were comparable in the three groups （P ＞ 0.05）.（2） After GnRH-a therapy,KMI and hot flash/sweating scores in all the three groups increased significantly （P ＜ 0.05）.At the 4th week after GnRH-a therapy,KMI and hot flash/sweating score results were as follows：Control group ＞ Kuntai group ＞ Tibolone group （P ＜ 0.05）; at the 8th and 12th week after GnRH-a therapy,KMI and hot flash/sweating score in Control group were significantly higher than the other two groups （P ＜ 0.05）,and no significant difference was identified between Kuntai and Tibolone group （P ＞ 0.05）.（3） No statistical change took place in the liver and renal functions and lipid profile in all the three groups after the treatment （P ＞ 0.05）.
