The study involved 50 women who received the NADA therapy over a period of 8 weeks. The primary advantage of the ear acupuncture therapy was that treatment was easily administered in small groups of five or less women at the same time. The results were clinically significant. The mean frequency of hot flashes and night sweats was reduced by almost 40 percent.
