NCT ID NCT03816852
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether stem cells from umbilical cords can safely help women with premature ovarian failure (early menopause). Twelve participants receive stem cell infusions, and doctors monitor menstrual cycles, hormone levels, and follicle growth. The goal is to see if this treatment can restore ovarian function better than standard hormone therapy.
