ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effects of ultrasound treatment on women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). PCOS can cause issues like irregular periods and hormone imbalances, and this study aims to see if using ultrasound on specific points in the body can help improve these symptoms. The trial is currently looking for women aged 18 to 35 who have irregular menstrual cycles. To participate, they must also meet certain health criteria, such as not having any serious medical conditions or taking medications that could interfere with the study results.

Participants in this trial can expect to undergo ultrasound treatments while their menstrual cycles and hormone levels are monitored. It's important to note that women who have certain health issues, like cancer, severe heart or lung problems, or those who refuse to stop specific medications, will not be eligible to join. Overall, this study hopes to find a new way to help manage PCOS symptoms and improve the quality of life for those affected.
