Lifestyle coaching may restore periods in women with hormone disorder
NCT ID NCT07386223
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a 10-week psychoeducational health and lifestyle program can help women with Functional Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (FHA) restart their menstrual cycles and improve hormone levels. Seventy women will either take part in the program or receive standard care. Researchers will track menstrual return and hormone changes over 9 months to see if the structured support works better than usual treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- psychoeducational health and lifestyle program
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide an effective non-drug option to help women with FHA regain regular periods and improve hormone levels.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small early-stage trial (70 participants) comparing a new program to usual care. The intervention may not lead to better outcomes, and results may not apply to all women with FHA.
