To systematically review the peer-reviewed literature regarding the effects of mind-body therapies on
menopausal symptoms. To identify qualifying studies, we searched 10 scientific databases and scanned
bibliographies of relevant review papers and all identified articles. The methodological quality of all studies was
assessed systematically using predefined criteria. Interventions included yoga and/or meditation-based
programs, tai chi, and other relaxation practices, including muscle relaxation and breath-based techniques,
relaxation response training, and low frequency sound-wave therapy. Eight of the nine studies of yoga, tai chi,
and meditation-based programs reported improvement in overall menopausal and vasomotor symptoms; six
of seven trials indicated improvement in mood and sleep with yoga-based programs, and four studies reported
reduced musculoskeletal pain.
