NCT ID NCT06919887
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers at Mayo Clinic are testing a mobile phone app designed to help women ages 45–55 identify and manage menopause symptoms. The app provides education and creates a personalized discussion guide for doctor visits. 900 women will participate, with half receiving the app and half getting a pamphlet. The study tracks how often women use the app and whether it leads to more menopause-related care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- mobile phone application
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this app could help women better identify menopause symptoms and have more productive talks with their doctors about treatment options.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study focused on app usage and healthcare visits, not on directly improving symptoms. The app is only in English and limited to Mayo Clinic patients, so results may not apply broadly.
