Research Interests
Dr. Montgomery-Rice is currently the Principal Investigator in the Menstrual or Bone Density Study to determine if the female sex hormones are higher in Black women & determine the reasons for these differences. She is also Principal Investigator in the 2D/3D Ultrasound Hysterectomy Study to determine the sensitivity & specificity of 2D ultrasound examination of fibroids compared to the 3D ultrasound; and the Xanodyne-Heavy Menstrual Bleeding Study to examine the effects of tranexamic acid in reducing menstrual bleeding. Dr. Montgomery-Rice was also the principle investigator on a Double-Blind Randomized Placebo and Active Control Safety and Efficacy study of Baxedoxifene/Conjugated Estrogen Combination and Post Menopausal Women. She serves as an investigator on a project with the NIH funded Center for Research in Reproduction Grant at Meharry Medical College. Other research endeavors include the Women’s Health, Osteoporosis, Progestin, and Estrogen (HOPE) Study, a multi-center clinical trial evaluating the efficacy of low dose hormone therapies.
