Non-Pharmacological Therapies Improve Menopause-Related Insomnia

A meta-analysis of 22 randomized controlled trials demonstrated that non-pharmacological interventions, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy and acupressure, significantly improved sleep quality and reduced insomnia severity in menopausal women. These approaches offer effective alternatives for managing active menopause sleep disturbances, especially for patients unable or unwilling to use hypnotic medications or hormone therapy.
