Digital CBT Reduced Hot-Flash Burden in a Pilot Trial
In an open-label pilot randomized trial of 100 participants with bothersome vasomotor symptoms, a self-guided digital cognitive behavioral therapy app added to usual care improved hot-flash problem ratings over 12 weeks versus usual care alone. Because the trial was small, open label, and relied on self-reported outcomes, larger confirmatory studies are still needed.
