Laughter therapy shows promise for menopause brain fog
NCT ID NCT07522840
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether laughter yoga could help women in menopause who struggle with brain fog, low mood, and poor sleep. 97 women were split into two groups: one did 8 sessions of laughter yoga over 4 weeks, and the other did nothing. Researchers measured brain fog, psychological well-being, and sleep quality before and after. The goal was to see if a fun, non-drug activity could make a real difference.
