Study Summary
This study is being done to find out whether a nightly 5-minute foot massage (Padabhyanga) using Brahmi-Gotukola oil can help women ages 40 to 55 sleep better and feel calmer during perimenopause. Perimenopause is the time when periods start to change and many women begin to experience sleep problems and mood changes. The study will also compare Brahmi-Gotukola oil to organic sesame oil, which will be used as the control oil. Participants will do a simple guided 10-minute foot massage at home every night for 2 weeks using either Brahmi-Gotukola oil or organic sesame oil. They will fill out a short sleep log each morning to track their sleep. Before starting the study and again at the end of the 2-week period, they will complete questionnaires about their sleep and mood. Additional follow-up questionnaires will be completed in the 3rd and 4th weeks to see if any improvements continue even after the massage period is over. This study aims to: See whether Brahmi-Gotukola oil foot massage improves sleep in women experiencing perimenopausal sleep problems. Find out whether Brahmi-Gotukola oil foot massage helps with mood and emotional well-being. Compare Brahmi-Gotukola oil foot massage with sesame oil foot massage to determine whether Brahmi oil provides more benefits for sleep and mood.
Primary Outcome
The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) will be administered at baseline (prior to intervention) and after 14 days of daily foot massage. This is a validated questionnaire that assesses sleep quality over the previous 1-month period, here adapted to a 2-week study duration. It includes 19 self-rated items generating a global score from 0 to 21, with higher scores indicating poorer sleep quality. A global score of 5 or more indicates clinically significant sleep disturbance. Change in total Pit
