Laser versus sham for genitourinary syndrome of menopause: A randomised controlled trial

Ann-Sophie Page et al.

Summary: The study aimed to assess whether CO2 laser treatment is more effective than sham application in relieving symptoms in women with genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM). The results showed that the treatment response after 12 weeks of laser application was comparable to that of the sham applications, and no serious adverse events were reported.

Let's go beyond the effect of: Reappraising the impact of ordinary activities on cognition

Rafael Roman-Caballero et al.

Summary: The demands of society for interventions that optimize cognitive abilities and prevent decline have led to the translation of scientific findings into practical programs. Various activities and cognitive programs have been found to have cognitive benefits. However, before drawing implications, several factors need to be considered, including the magnitude and costs of the effect, the robustness of the effect, testing causality, identifying moderator variables, and understanding the underlying mechanisms. These considerations can help researchers critically evaluate existing findings, reduce media overstatements, and potentially guide the design of new interventions.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of fractional CO2 laser therapy for GSM through a randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled trial. The results showed no significant difference in improvement proportion between the treatment and control groups, but both groups showed significant within-group improvements in VHI and VAS. Further research is needed to determine the therapeutic effect of this novel modality.
