Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Women aged 20-40 with infertility (primary or secondary) who have had at least one unsuccessful embryo transfer and no contraindications to spa therapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Individuals with acute gynecological inflammation, severe comorbidities, oncological disease, or endometriosis may not benefit from this approach.

What this trial studies
This is a prospective, single-arm study conducted at a spa facility in Františkovy Lázně, Czech Republic, enrolling 55 women with infertility. Participants undergo a standardized 21-day spa program (KLP) alongside routine clinical care, with measurements taken before and after treatment. Primary outcomes are changes in hormonal markers (LH, FSH, prolactin, estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, AMH); secondary outcomes include body composition, psychometric assessments (PSS-10, EQ-5D-5L, FertiQoL), ultrasound parameters, and preliminary reproductive outcomes. The study does not modify the treatment protocol and aims to observe real-world effects of spa therapies on infertility-related parameters. Safety monitoring is aligned with standard clinical care at the spa facility.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the approach could offer an adjunct option to support hormonal balance and quality of life for women undergoing infertility treatment.
How similar studies have gone: Previous spa-therapy interventions have shown potential hormonal and well-being benefits in related populations, but this exact spa-based program for infertility is novel/less extensively studied.
