Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Changes in perceived discomfort associated with the most common symptoms linked with perimenopause and menopause [12 weeks]
Symptoms will be reported by the participant on a scale of perceived discomfort and will include rankings for mood, anxiety, fatigue, sleep quality, hot flashes, and libido. This survey will be based on the widely used and validated Menopause Rating Scale (MRS). The MRS will be modified to increase dynamic range by changing the response gradations from 5 to 7.
