摘要：Objective: Randomized clinical study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of Flower Therapy, Auriculotherapy, and Therapeutic touch to control climacteric symptoms. Method: 118 women were randomized and treated for 3 months, from 2008 to 2010. Results For efficacy no statistical difference was observed among the three treatments. There was reduction of hot flushes and insomnia (p <0.05) in the three treatments. Average scores of the State-anxiety decreased from 42.73 to 37.31 (p = 0.000) and menopausal index decreased significantly (p = 0.000). As to the efficacy no statistical difference among the three treatment. Regarding effect size, highest effect size for menopausal index in the Therapeutic touch group was observed, with 2.31 (huge effect) and 69% reduction of symptoms and for anxiety-state, the largest effect size was 0.90 (large effect), with 18% reduction. Conclusion: The three studied therapies have demonstrated efficacy in reducing the climaterium symptoms (no statistical difference among them). The largest effect size was observed for the group therapeutic touch group.
