Summary

This small study tests whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, can alter levels of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in healthy women. Ten women in the luteal phase of their menstrual cycle will receive both active and sham TMS to see if hormone levels change. It is a feasibility study, meaning it aims to see if the approach works at all, not to treat any disease.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could point toward a non-invasive way to influence hormones, potentially helping with hormone-related conditions.
What could go wrong: This is a very small, early feasibility study in healthy women, not a treatment trial. It may not show any effect or translate to clinical use.
