NCT ID NCT07572981

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether clinical hypnosis and self-hypnosis can reduce hot flashes and improve quality of life in menopausal women who cannot or choose not to take hormone therapy. About 94 women will be split into two groups: one receiving hypnosis sessions and the other receiving supportive conversations with a nurse. Researchers will track symptoms and quality of life over 6 months to see if hypnosis offers lasting relief.
