Summary

This trial tests whether laughter yoga can improve emotional labor and quality of life in female nurses going through menopause. About 120 nurses aged 45 or older will be randomly assigned to either eight laughter yoga sessions over four weeks or no intervention. Researchers will measure emotional labor behavior and menopause-specific quality of life before, after, and at follow-up to see if laughter yoga makes a 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 (a behavioral intervention involving group sessions with laughter exercises, breathing, and relaxation)
What this could lead to
If effective, laughter yoga could offer a simple, drug-free way to improve emotional well-being and quality of life for menopausal nurses.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial, and results may not apply broadly. The benefits could be modest or not lasting.
