Can faith help women navigate menopause? a study looks for answers
NCT ID NCT07797296
First seen Sep 01, 2026 · Last updated Sep 02, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study asks whether the severity of menopausal symptoms and beliefs in sexual myths are linked to how strongly women hold intrinsic religious orientation. Researchers will survey healthy women aged 49 to 59 who have gone through menopause, using questionnaires to measure symptoms, sexual myths, and religious motivation. The goal is to understand how women use faith as a coping resource during this life transition.
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 the study finds links, it could help healthcare providers understand how women use religious beliefs to cope with menopause, leading to more culturally sensitive support.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, observational study in one city, so the findings may not apply to all menopausal women. It only looks for connections, not causes.
