This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing a new kind of brain training called neurofeedback, which uses special sensors to measure activity in a specific part of your brain (the right prefrontal cortex) and shows you that activity on a screen in real time. The goal is to help you learn to calm that brain region while listening to slow, gentle tones—which may reduce anxiety and improve how your heart responds to stress. Half of participants will receive real feedback linked to their actual brain activity, while the other half will receive fake feedback that isn't connected to their brain, so researchers can see if the real version actually works.
Women who have experienced recurrent miscarriages often develop significant anxiety, which can affect their physical health—including how their nervous system and heart respond to stress. Current anxiety treatments don't always work well enough for this group, so researchers are testing whether this new brain-based training approach could offer additional help.

You would start with a 3-day adaptation phase to get familiar with the equipment, then attend 15 training visits over 3 weeks (about 20 minutes each on weekdays). During each visit, you'll wear special sensors on your head that measure brain activity, see a visual bar on a screen that responds to your brain, and try to calm that brain region while listening to a gentle, slowly pulsing tone. You'll also receive standard talk therapy (cognitive-behavioral therapy) alongside the brain training. Throughout the study, your anxiety will be measured at the start, at the end of training, and again 3 months later.
