Interventions

  • Amygdala and Insula Retraining (AIR) — BEHAVIORAL
    Mind-body brain retraining intervention

Study Details

The goal of this study is to evaluate a neuroplasticity-based mind-body intervention, Amygdala and Insula Retraining (AIR), compared to a wait-list control in individuals experiencing perimenopausal symptoms. Our research questions include: Does AIR reduce overall perimenopausal symptom burden compared to a wait-list control? Does AIR improve sleep disturbance, vasomotor symptom interference, fatigue, mood, anxiety, and quality of life in perimenopausal individuals? Are symptom changes associated with improvements in autonomic regulation and sleep parameters, as reflected by exploratory wearable measures including heart rate variability?
