Summary

This study tested a mobile app called Evia that uses daily hypnosis recordings to help reduce hot flashes and improve sleep. 90 women aged 40 and older who had frequent hot flashes used the app for five weeks. The goal was to see if the app could lower hot flash frequency and severity compared to a control app.
