Among health problems of peri-menopausal women, sleep disturbances is very common complaint. The aim of this study is to realize the body constitution of the peri-menopausal women with sleep disturbance; and to evaluate the effects of Duo-in practice on this population to see if this intervention can decrease the dosage of hormone replacement therapy.

Participants will be recruited from China Medical University, Tri-Service General Hospital, Taiwan Society of Health Promotion, and Dr. Chen's Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic. One hundred of participants who are willing to try Duo-in exercise to improve their sleep quality will be randomly assigned into experiment group and control group. The experiment group will practice Duo-in exercise 20 minutes every day for 2 months; while there is no intervention in the control group. Then, after 2 weeks, the participants of experiment and control group will crossover. The experiment group has no intervention, but the control group will practice Duo-in exercise for 2 months. Chinese version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (CPSQI), Body Constitution Questionnaire (BCQ), peri-menopausal disturbance scale, and peri-menopausal fatigue scale will be used in the assessment at each time point. According to previous experience, a total of 70 participants will completed the whole observation course. Generalized estimating equations (GEE) is applied to analyzed the repeated measurement of different time and groups.

This study will provide the evidence for Duo-in exercise as complementary treatment for hormone replacement therapy for peri-menopausal women, and also for integration of Dao-in exercise into mainstream treatment for other patients with sleep disturbance.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
