A randomized controlled trial with 120 menopausal women in Egypt found that seven sessions of a mindfulness-based intervention significantly improved menopause-specific quality of life across vasomotor, psychosocial, physical, and sexual domains, with large effect sizes. The intervention also substantially reduced anxiety, stress, and depression, and increased mindfulness, compared to a control group receiving general health education. These results suggest mindfulness-based programs can effectively alleviate menopausal symptoms and enhance psychological well-being.
