NCT ID NCT06884917
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether teaching menopausal women about good sleep habits (sleep hygiene) could improve their sleep and comfort. Sixty women were split into two groups: one received the education, the other did not. Researchers measured sleep quality and comfort before and after the program. The goal is to find a safe, non-medicine way to help women sleep better during menopause.
