This award funds a study investigating the effects of localized peripheral cooling on menopausal hot flashes, aiming to reduce their frequency and duration through targeted cooling interventions.
Description
Research to determine if precisely timed and targeted localized peripheral cooling alleviates menopausal hot flashes by combining real-time hot flash detection with cooling applied to the palm of the hand, assessing physiological signals such as skin conductance, temperature, blood flow, and heart rate.
