Menopause and the postmenopausal period are associated with decreased estrogen levels, structural and functional changes in the musculoskeletal system, increased pain prevalence, reduced muscle function, and impaired quality of life. Relaxation techniques, breathing-focused exercises, and mind-body practices have been shown to reduce pain, improve psychological well-being, and enhance sleep quality. With the growing use of digital health technologies, AI-supported relaxation training may offer personalized guidance, easy accessibility, and sustainable home-based practice, although its effectiveness in postmenopausal women has not yet been demonstrated.\n\nIn this three-arm randomized controlled trial, participants will be assigned to physiotherapist-led relaxation and breathing training, AI-assisted relaxation and breathing training, or a control group. Interventions will last eight weeks and include sessions three days per week, each approximately 30 minutes. The physiotherapist-guided group will perform sessions face-to-face, while the AI-assisted group will complete prerecorded relaxation and breathing exercises created with AI-generated scripts and voice recordings. The control group will continue daily routines without structured training during the study period.\n\nAssessments will be conducted at baseline and at the end of eight weeks. Outcome measures will include pain severity, pressure pain threshold, musculoskeletal symptoms, menopause-specific quality of life, psychological status, sleep quality, dyspnea, and participant satisfaction. The study aims to compare the effects of physiotherapist-led and AI-assisted training modalities on pain, musculoskeletal health, sleep, psychological well-being, and quality of life. Findings are expected to contribute to the development of accessible and cost-effective interventions that support symptom management and improve the daily functioning of postmenopausal women.",[95,96],"Postmenopausal Period","Postmenopausal Women",[98,99,100,101],"postmenopausal","artificial intelligence","pain management","quality of life","2026-06-06",{"date":104,"type":105},"2026-06-10","ACTUAL",{"date":107,"type":105},"2026-04-01",{"date":109,"type":89},"2027-02",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
