The precise underlying pathophysiology for the progression of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) remains unclear. Eminent scientists and clinicians normally target the given clinical symptoms to curtail the syndrome in a given period. For years, multiple varied techniques have been developed and followed to treat this disorder. A novel non-invasive, pain-free treatment ‘Neurotherapy’ has been highlighted in this article that can be considered as a boon in the field of treatment and healing. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Neurotherapy in a patient with PCOS. A regular case of PCOS with ultrasonography denoting bilateral ovarian cysts is hereby discussed. Post the therapy, ultrasound reports have shown no trace of cysts in both the ovaries thereby concluding that this novel therapy can be very fruitful in treating one of the most common gynaecology related female problems, without any side effects or after-effects.
