Effect of Tomatis Auditory Stimulation on Insomnia in Perimenopausal Women.
Article in Noise & health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveThis study aimed to explore the effect of Tomatis music therapy in improving perimenopausal insomnia.
methodsThis study included perimenopausal women visiting a tertiary obstetrics and gynaecology hospital from January 2024 to December 2024, screening for those with a Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score >7 and a Spiegel Sleep Inventory (SPIEGEL) clinical self-rating score over 12 points. The 120 eligible patients were divided into three groups on the basis of previous treatment: routine nursing (control group 1, n = 41), standard music therapy (control group 2, n = 42) and Tomatis music therapy (Tomatis group, n = 37). Outcomes, such as PSQI, SPIEGEL, modified Kupperman scale, Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) and safety, were compared across groups.
resultsFollowing the treatment method, a significant reduction in PSQI scores was found in all groups compared with baseline, with the greatest improvement observed in the Tomatis group (P < 0.001). Similarly, the SPIEGEL scores declined significantly in the control and Tomatis groups, though the latter demonstrated superior outcomes (P < 0.001). The modified Kupperman scale scores decreased markedly across all groups, with the most pronounced reduction observed in the Tomatis group (P < 0.001). Additionally, the post-treatment MRS scores were significantly lower than the pre-treatment values in all groups, with the Tomatis group achieving the lowest scores (P < 0.001).
conclusionTomatis sound therapy is associated with improved sleep quality in perimenopausal women with insomnia, relief from menopausal symptoms and enhanced overall well-being.
