Summary

This study tested whether laughter yoga could help women in menopause who struggle with brain fog, low mood, and poor sleep. 97 women were split into two groups: one did 8 sessions of laughter yoga over 4 weeks, and the other did nothing. Researchers measured brain fog, psychological well-being, and sleep quality before and after. The goal was to see if a fun, non-drug activity could make a real difference.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
laughter yoga therapy
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to ease brain fog and improve sleep and mood during menopause.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with no blinding or long-term follow-up. Results may not apply to all women, and the benefits might be due to placebo or social interaction.
