Effectiveness of Manual Physical Therapy to Improve Endocrine Levels in Women

Stopped early

Conditions studied: FSH Hypersecretion, Endocrine System Diseases, Infertility

In brief

This study will examine the impact of manual physical therapy on endocrine function in women diagnosed as being infertile due to elevated follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels (10 mIU/mL or higher) on days 2-5 of their menstrual cycle. It is hypothesized that the manual physical therapy will decrease FSH levels.
