Summary

This study will test a version of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) specially designed for women veterans aged 45 and older who are dealing with menopause symptoms. The therapy teaches practical coping strategies for hot flashes, mood changes, and sleep problems. Researchers will enroll 48 women from the VA Maryland Healthcare System to see if the program is acceptable and feasible.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Menopause (CBT-Meno)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could provide a practical, non-drug therapy to help aging women veterans manage menopause symptoms and improve daily functioning.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage feasibility trial with only 48 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The therapy may not be effective for all, and participation requires telehealth access.
