A phone game takes on menopause brain fog
NCT ID NCT07800793
First seen Sep 02, 2026 · Last updated Sep 03, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a mobile game designed for menopausal women can reduce brain fog and improve psychological well-being. Women aged 45 to 55 who have gone through menopause will be randomly assigned to either play the game for 15 minutes a day, 5 days a week, for 6 weeks, or to receive routine care only. Researchers will compare changes in brain fog and well-being scores between the two groups to see if the game helps.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- A mobile game designed for menopausal women, with cognitive exercises targeting attention, memory, and processing speed.
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way for menopausal women to sharpen their thinking and feel better day to day.
- What could go wrong
- The trial is small and early, so results may not hold up. The game's benefits, if any, may be modest and not last beyond the 6-week study.
