Objective. To assess changes in cognitive function and quality-of-life indicators in menopausal women receiving different types of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT).
Subjects and methods. Eighty postmenopausal women with neurovegetative and psychoemotional symptoms were divided into 4 groups: 1) 17-ß estradiol 1 mg, drospirenone 2 mg; 2) transdermal 17-ß estradiol 0.06% gel, oral micronized progesterone 200 mg; 3) monotherapy with transdermal 17-ß estradiol 0.06% gel; 4) no MHT. The Kupperman index, NGF, MoCA test, SF-36 scale, and Beck Depression Inventory were applied to examined the women’s status.
Results. NGF levels were significantly increased and the neurovegetative, psychoemotional status improved in Group 1 versus Group 2. Changes were absent in Group 3; cognitive impairment progressed in Group 4.
Conclusion. The systemic administration of 17-ß estradiol 1 mg, drospirenone 2 mg versus transdermal 17-ß estradiol 0.06% gel, oral micronized progesterone 200 mg or estrogen monotherapy is effective in restoring cognitive functions and quality of life in early postmenopause.
