Trial Outcomes & Findings for Testosterone Gel Applied to Women With Pituitary Gland Problems (NCT NCT00144391)

NCT ID: NCT00144391

Last Updated: 2017-06-27

Results Overview

change in fatigue impact scale there are 42 questions. Each question can be answered from 0 (no problem) to 4 (extreme problem), so a higher score indicates more severe fatigue impact. minimum score=0, maximum score =148 values are calculated at baseline and 6 months and the score at 6 months compared to baseline months is calculated
