NCT ID NCT07422727
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a special cooling mat can reduce hot flashes and night sweats in people taking hormone therapy for breast or prostate cancer. About 40 participants will use the mat for 8 weeks and track their symptoms. The goal is to see if this simple, non-drug approach improves comfort and sleep.
