About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of a mobile game-based cognitive intervention on brain fog and psychological well-being in menopausal women aged 45-55 years. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Are Brain Fog Scale scores lower among women in the mobile game intervention group compared with women in the control group? Are Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale scores higher among women in the mobile game intervention group compared with women in the control group? Do women participating in the mobile game intervention demonstrate greater reductions in Brain Fog Scale scores and greater improvements in Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale scores after the intervention compared with their baseline measurements?
Researchers will compare participants receiving the mobile game-based cognitive intervention with participants receiving routine follow-up only to determine the effectiveness of the intervention on brain fog and psychological well-being.
Participants will:
Complete baseline assessments using the Brain Fog Scale and the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale.
Be randomly assigned to either the intervention group or the control group. Use the cognitive training mobile game for 15 minutes per day, 5 days per week, for 6 weeks if assigned to the intervention group.
Receive routine follow-up only if assigned to the control group. Complete post-intervention assessments at the end of the 6-week study period.

Treatments tested in this trial
Menopause Mobile Game
BehavioralParticipants in the intervention group will use a mobile game specifically designed for menopausal women to support cognitive functioning. The game includes interactive exercises and activities targeting attention, memory, processing speed, and other cognitive skills. Participants will use the mobile game throughout the intervention period in addition to routine care.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Brain fog
Change in Brain Fog Scale total score from baseline to post-intervention. The Brain Fog Scale is a 30-item instrument assessing cognitive, physical, and psychological symptoms of brain fog. Total scores range from 30 to 150, with higher scores indicating greater brain fog severity (worse outcome).
Secondary outcomes
Change in Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being
The effect of the mobile game intervention on psychological well-being among menopausal women will be assessed using the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale. Total scores range from 14 to 70, with higher scores indicating better mental well-being. Changes in total scores from baseline to Week 6 will be evaluated.
