Soybean lettuce extract effectively reduces symptoms of menopause syndrome without notable side effects.
Randomised Controlled Trial Menopause Soybean
The study targeted adult women suffering from menopausal syndrome with a Kupperman index of 15 or more. Participants were split into two groups – the experimental group and the placebo group. The research spanned over a four-week period and embraced a total of 39 participants (with one dropping out). Measurements of body mass index, waist circumference, and several cholesterol levels were taken before and after the study, but these didn't show any significant changes.
In the results discussion, the most notable finding was a significant reduction in the Kupperman index in the experimental group. They were given the natural nitric oxide-containing soybean lettuce extract. This decrease denotes the alleviation of menopausal symptoms, offering an effective, natural alternative to hormone therapy. Conversely, the placebo group didn't show any substantial change, reinforcing the efficacy of the soybean lettuce extract.

Sleep quality in adults with disturbed sleep improved significantly after an 8-week course of naturally-derived sleep-inducing juice made from lettuce, orange, pineapple and cherry.
Randomised Controlled Trial Pineapple Sleep
This randomized, crossover study involved 25 adults (15 female, 10 male), all of whom reported difficulties in initiating or maintaining nighttime sleep. During the intervention, known as the feeding sessions (FS), the participants were given a sleep-inducing juice made of natural ingredients, being provided 250ml twice a day for 8 weeks. Their sleep quality and other related parameters were tracked with wearable actigraphs over seven consecutive days. The Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) scores were assessed before and after this juice intervention. The subjects' heart rate variability (HRV), both at rest and during sleep, was also closely monitored.
After the participants had undergone the 8-week juice intervention (FS), the PSQI scores decreased substantially, a change which directly correlated with a significant decrease in fatigue severity scale and visual analogue scale levels. Notably, heart rate variability indices indicative of vagal activity were significantly improved during the FS. The sleep efficiency and the total sleep time of the subjects increased significantly; at the same time, sleep latency and other disruptive factors like total counts, sleep fragmentation index, and movement index decreased significantly. There weren’t any significant differences observed during the non-feeding sessions (N-FS). Overall, the study results showed that the targeted intake of the sleep-inducing juice improved not only the sleep quality, but also led to an enhanced cardiac vagal tone during sleep.

Write an executive summary in the form of a blog article on the topic of "Researched Chinese medicine treatments for Lettuce" summarising the research below in an objective and easy to understand way, and using language that can be easily understood by patients. Group the article into Chinese medicine treatments first, followed by nutrition and other treatments. Avoid using medical jargon and use a professional and caring tone of voice.
Write me a concise but easy to understand executive summary on the topic of "Chinese medicine treatments for Lettuce" based on the following research that I will give you. Your summary should be 2 paragraphs long in Australian English spelling and include references to the studies.
A Randomised Controlled Trial published in 2022 in the journal Nutrients found that Soybean lettuce extract effectively reduces symptoms of menopause syndrome without notable side effects. The study targeted adult women suffering from menopausal syndrome with a Kupperman index of 15 or more. Participants were split into two groups – the experimental group and the placebo group. The research spanned over a four-week period and embraced a total of 39 participants (with one dropping out).
