NCT ID NCT07447947
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will hold focus groups with 24 women aged 45-60 who are part of a multidisciplinary menopause program at Paris Saint-Joseph Hospital. The goal is to understand their personal experiences and perceptions of menopause, including physical symptoms, emotional changes, and social taboos. By listening to women's own voices, researchers hope to improve how healthcare supports them during this life stage.

- If successful, this study could reveal how group discussions help women better understand and cope with menopause, potentially improving support programs.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage qualitative study with only 24 participants, so findings may not apply to all women. It does not test any treatment or intervention.
