Traditional Asian Mind-Body Exercises for Vasomotor Symptoms and Other Menopausal Symptoms in Women Experiencing Peri- and Post-Menopause: A Scoping Review Protocol.
Article in Nursing open, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionAround 1.3 million US women enter menopause annually, with 75%-80% experiencing vasomotor symptoms (VMS) impacting mood, sleep, and cognition. VMS may contribute to chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease, a leading cause of female mortality. Limited research suggests behavioural interventions, especially Asian mind-body exercises, may alleviate VMS and other menopausal symptoms. This scoping review explores the literature on the effects of Asian mind-body exercises on VMS and related symptoms in this population.
objectiveThis scoping review aims to map the current literature on the effects of Asian mind-body exercises on VMS and other menopausal symptoms in peri- and post-menopausal women, addressing the existing knowledge gap and providing recommendations for healthcare interventions and future research.
methodsGuided by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Manual for Evidence Synthesis, we will utilise the framework by Arksey and O'Malley, adhere to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) reporting guidelines for transparency and reproducibility for scoping reviews and searches. We will use Covidence (Veritas Health Innovation) to screen and extract studies. Citation management and duplicate detection and removal will be accomplished with EndNote (Clarivate Analytics). DISCUSSION AND RESEARCH SPIN-OFFS: This research will identify gaps, clarify definitions, and inform future research directions, providing healthcare professionals with evidence-based insights to support the implementation of Asian mind-body exercises for women in peri- and post-menopause. By doing so, it aims to advance culturally responsive and effective strategies that address the specific health needs of women during this life stage. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: The findings from this scoping review may be used in clinical healthcare recommendations integrating traditional Asian mind-body exercise for vasomotor symptoms and other menopausal symptoms. NO PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: This will be a scoping review study.
