Mind over PCOS: theta healing trial targets fertility fears
NCT ID NCT07630441
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a 5-day online Theta Healing program—including meditation, visualization, and self-compassion exercises—in 142 women with PCOS. The goal is to see if it reduces fertility anxiety and improves body image compared to usual care alone. Results will be measured 6 weeks after the program ends.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Theta Healing-based intervention (guided meditation, relaxation, visualization, affirmations, self-compassion exercises)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a low-cost, non-drug way to reduce fertility-related stress and improve body image in women with PCOS.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with no blinding, and the intervention is behavioral—so results may be influenced by placebo effects or participant expectations.
