Summary

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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: mindfulness-based stress reduction program
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a non-hormonal way for menopausal women to improve their quality of life, sleep, and mental well-being.
What could go wrong: This is a small, completed study in Turkey, so results may not apply to other groups. The control group got no intervention, which can bias results.
