Mindfulness may ease menopause symptoms, small study suggests

This study tested whether an 8-week mindfulness-based stress reduction program could improve quality of life, sleep, and mental well-being in menopausal women. Researchers enrolled 86 women aged 45-64 who had not had a period for at least a year. Half took the mindfulness program; the other half received no intervention. The study is now complete, and results will show if mindfulness helps ease common menopause complaints like sleep problems and low mood.
