Based on the cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) model, this study developed a mini-program that combined diet, exercise, sleep, and mood interventions for PCOS women.
With the change in environment and lifestyle, and the improvement of people's understanding of PCOS, the incidence of PCOS is increasing worldwide. According to statistics, the prevalence of PCOS in premenopausal women is as high as 5-20%. Lifestyle interventions are the main treatment option for patients with PCOS. In addition, research has shown that digital therapy can effectively improve behavior change in diet, exercise, and medication adherence, predict disease progression, reduce the frequency of disease-related symptoms, and promote effective disease management. Besides, cognitive behavioral therapy plays an important role in managing and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of digital cognitive behavioral therapy versus traditional metformin monotherapy in overweight/obese patients with PCOS.
