Induction of ovulation in normo-androgenic women, affected by primary hypothalamic amenorrhea, with chronic pulsatile administration of GnRH, using an automatic portable pump (Zyklomat).
Pulsatile administration of GnRH appears to be the most rational and physiological treatment of infertility in patients affected by hypothalamic amenorrhea. The authors conclude that the results obtained with this method of treatment in patients with severe hypothalamic amenorrhea suggest that the choice of pulsatile GnRH therapy is an effective and practical method for induction of ovulation.
