Официальное название
Effects of Wet-Cupping on Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Обзор
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether wet cupping therapy (Hijama) can improve reproductive and metabolic outcomes in women diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). This study will be conducted among female participants aged 20-40 years who have been diagnosed with PCOS according to the Rotterdam criteria. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can wet cupping therapy regulate menstrual cycles in women with PCOS? Can it increase the pregnancy rate in married participants with PCOS-related infertility? Researchers will compare outcomes between a wet cupping group and a control group to determine whether Hijama has significant effects on reproductive, hormonal, and metabolic markers. Participants will: Undergo screening and eligibility evaluation using a checklist Be randomized into either the wet cupping (intervention) or control group Receive lifestyle counseling (diet and physical activity) For the intervention group: Receive one Hijama session performed by a certified practitioner Undergo follow-up at 4 and 12 weeks for clinical, hormonal, and ultrasound assessments For all participants: Complete laboratory tests, ultrasound scans, and questionnaires on PCOS symptoms and quality of life Report any side effects during and after the study period
