Key Takeaways

  • GS1-144, a new neurokinin 3 receptor antagonist, significantly reduced hot flash frequency and severity in Chinese women with good safety profile
  • Researchers are developing evidence-based psychosocial interventions specifically for cognitive symptoms during menopause transition, treating brain fog as a legitimate medical concern
  • The first systematic review of military menopause research revealed major knowledge gaps about how symptoms interact with combat roles, deployment, and extreme environments
  • Menopause research is becoming more targeted, addressing specific populations and circumstances rather than assuming one-size-fits-all approaches
  • Military menopause research could eventually benefit civilian women in other high-stress, high-performance careers
