Analyses of Menopause and Its Related Symptoms on Sleep Quality Using a Novel Wearable Sheet-Type Frontal Electroencephalography Sensor, Haru-1.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Menopause affects sleep quality and contributes to depressive symptoms, but its precise impact on sleep remains unclear. To address this gap, we conducted detailed measurements of brain activity during sleep in pre- and postmenopausal women using a novel wearable sheet-type frontal electroencephalography (EEG) patch, Haru-1 (PGV Inc., Tokyo, Japan).

Methods

Hospitalized patients aged 30-50 years who had undergone bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, as well as volunteer participants aged 40-60 years who underwent EEG monitoring at home, were enrolled in the study. EEG recordings were obtained during sleep. Participants were assessed for menopausal symptoms using the Simple Menopausal Index (SMI) and for depressive symptoms using the Quick Inventory of Depressive Sympt
