Can Flow Neuroscience Support Women’s Mood, Sleep & Daily Functioning?
A Real-World Study with Women
Women navigating menopause often face mood changes, anxiety, sleep disruption, and brain fog. Many treatments promise relief, but few are tested with real women, in real life. To explore whether Flow Neuroscience could genuinely support women during menopause, The House of Hormones (THOH) partnered with Flow to run a 10-week, real-world community study.
This article breaks down the findings in a clear, easy-to-understand way, with key statistics front and centre.
The Study at a Glance
- Participants: 8 (completed)
- Duration: 10 weeks
- Method: Baseline, Week 4, and Week 10 surveys
- Context: Women experiencing menopause-related mood, sleep, and cognitive symptoms
The core question:
Can Flow’s treatment improve mood, reduce anxiety, enhance sleep, and support daily functioning for women in menopause?
Baseline: How Were Women Feeling Before?
Before starting the treatment, many women reported struggling with:
- Depressive mood, anxiety, and irritability
- Sleep problems
- Brain fog
- Stress affecting work, home, and relationships
These results reflect the real barriers women face when prioritising themselves and managing menopause.

Mood & Anxiety
- Anxiety, depressive mood, and irritability reduced by >20%
Sleep & Cognitive Function
- Sleep problems improved by >20%
- Brain fog reduced by >20%
Week 10: Longer-Term Impact
By Week 10, participants experienced substantial improvements:
Mood & Emotional Balance

- Overall health score improved by 12%
Side Effects
Side effects were monitored at Week 4 and Week 10:
- Week 4: 92% of participants experienced at least one side effect (tingling/itching at electrode site, headache, fatigue)
- Severity: Mostly mild (64%) or moderate (36%); none severe or causing discontinuation
- Week 10: Most side effects improved or resolved completely
Women’s Voices (In Their Own Words)
Mood & Daily Functioning

Ease of Use
- “The device is very easy to use.”
- “It became a part of my routine effortlessly.”
Overall Satisfaction
- 82% would recommend Flow to other women
- 91% would continue using Flow if available
Key Takeaway
This 10-week THOH inHouse Study demonstrates that Flow can be an effective intervention for a range of menopausal symptoms:
- Broad symptom relief: Mood, anxiety, sleep, and brain fog improved
- Improved daily functioning: Work, home, and relationships benefited
- High tolerability: Side effects were mostly mild and transient
- Strong user satisfaction: Most participants willing to continue and recommend
Most importantly, this study highlights what happens when treatments are tested by real women, in real life—not just in theory.
