Low-dose estrogen skin patch for girls with Turner syndrome
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a very low dose of estrogen applied to the skin (like a patch or gel) in girls with Turner syndrome who are just reaching puberty age. The goal is to help with normal growth and development, while avoiding risks of starting too much estrogen too early.
