The objective of this presentation is to review the evidence on
nonpharmacologic, nonherbal management treatments of CIM in
climacteric disorders.
Methods A systematic review of PubMed database was per-
formed using the key-words: acupuncture, hypnosis, yoga,
massage, homeopathy and menopause.
Results The research of CIMmodalities is evolving. The 2015 posi-
tion statement of the North American menopause society (NAMS)
recommended the use of CBT and hypnosis for the management
of VMS. The most recent studies on the effect of acupuncture on
VMS however yielded conflicting results: while NAMS concluded
that acupuncture is not recommended for managing VMS, later
studies produced a positive evidence both for managing of VMS
and menopause-related sleep disturbances by this therapeutically
modality. There is also some evidence that acupuncture, massage
and yoga may alleviate symptoms of depression and that individu-
alized homeopathic treatment may be more effective than placebo
for depression in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women.
Conclusions These findings suggest that acupuncture, hypnosis,
yoga, massage and homeopathy may be adopted as a part of mul-
timodal approach in treatment of climacteric disorders.

sole the victim.

heroes in hardship of life.
