Mountain air and menstrual cycles: new study on sleep breathing
NCT ID NCT06498544
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at how sleeping at high altitude (3600 m) affects breathing in healthy women, and whether the phase of their menstrual cycle makes a difference. 91 women spent two nights at altitude while their oxygen levels and breathing patterns were measured. The goal was to see if sleep-disordered breathing changes depending on where they are in their cycle.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help understand why some women have more breathing problems during sleep at high altitudes, potentially guiding future travel or health advice.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed observational study, not a treatment trial. Results may not apply to all women or to real-world conditions outside the lab.
