Can brain training ease anxiety in women with recurrent miscarriage?
NCT ID NCT07325370
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a brain-training technique called neurofeedback can help reduce anxiety in women who have had repeated pregnancy losses. Participants use a headband that monitors brain activity and plays a calming sound when the brain is in a relaxed state. The trial compares real neurofeedback to a sham version to see if it truly helps. Sixty-two women will take part, and their anxiety levels will be checked after treatment and three months later.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- fNIRS-BCI closed-loop neurofeedback device
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a non-drug way to reduce anxiety in women with recurrent pregnancy loss, potentially improving well-being and pregnancy outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small early-stage trial (62 participants) testing a device, not a drug. The sham control may still produce placebo effects, and results may not generalize to all women or lead to a proven treatment.
