Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess how reflexology and general stretching affect postmenopausal women's quality of life, vasomotor symptoms, and insomnia. Hormonal changes in postmenopausal women frequently result in hot flashes, sleep difficulties, and a general reduction in quality of life. Although non-pharmacological treatments like stretching and reflexology have demonstrated promise in treating these symptoms on their own, little study has evaluated how well they work together.
