Evidence-Based Hormone Therapy

Meaning

Evidence-Based Hormone Therapy (EBHT) is a clinical approach to hormonal treatment that strictly integrates the best available scientific evidence, the clinician’s expertise, and the patient’s individual values and preferences. This practice emphasizes the use of well-studied, FDA-approved, or guideline-recommended hormonal agents at the lowest effective dose for the shortest necessary duration. It stands in contrast to therapies lacking robust, peer-reviewed clinical trial data to support their efficacy and safety profile.
