Scientists scan brains to unlock PCOS mystery

NCT ID NCT03043924

Summary

This study aimed to understand how the brain is involved in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Researchers used MRI brain scans to compare 52 young women with PCOS to healthy volunteers, both before and after starting hormonal birth control. The goal was to see if changes in the brain's structure and chemistry are linked to the hormone imbalances seen in PCOS.
