AI breathing coach takes on menopause pain
NCT ID NCT07302750
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether relaxation and breathing exercises guided by an AI system can reduce pain and improve quality of life in postmenopausal women with chronic muscle and joint pain. About 48 women aged 45 to 65 will either work with a physiotherapist, use an AI-assisted program, or continue their usual routine for 8 weeks. The goal is to see if a convenient, home-based AI tool can offer similar benefits to in-person sessions.
