| Abstract: | Clinical assessment of the severity and frequency of post-menopausal hot flushes can be made objectively by measuring the associated changes in skin conductance and skin and core temperature. Such measurements provide a more reliable index of the response to therapy than does subjective reporting which has been employed in the past. The design and use of a working analyzer is presented that is sufficiently simple, rugged, safe and portable to be used under normal clinical conditions to provide a permanent record of the attacks. |
