Health, imaging, and thinking during menopause
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how changes during menopause affect your brain, health, and thinking. You'll have an MRI scan and do some tests to see how your body and mind are doing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
