Background: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOs) is a heterogeneous endocrine abnormality with a reported rate of incidence estimated to be 3-10%. It decreases the quality of life among unmarried females by increasing the chances of diabities,hirsutism,obesity and much more. There is a need of a therapy to treat the symptoms of PCOs with minumum side effects. The present study is aimed to determine the impact of manual therapy-based technique in improving the symptoms and complication related to poly cystic ovary syndrome patients as in long run the technique will be found to be less side effective and more cost effective. Method: A total 6 sessions of hands on manual therapy was performed in a manner that 3 sessions were consecutive and 3 were on alternate days whereas follow-up was taken after two months. All participants were assessed on the basis of pre and post prolactin test, HbA1c, modified questionnaire while the size of cysts was measured by pelvic ultrasound Imaging. Results: Fifty patients with mean age of 26.37±3.78 were recruited in which fifteen were dropout therefore in total thirty-five patients participated in this study. The results showed that there was significant improvement in all parameters after the rehabilitation protocol was performed such as the difference in prolactin test after rehabilitation was 25-40ng/ml to 27.8±3.51 with a mean difference of 4.24ml ,HbA1c from 6.00±0.31 to 5.36±0.24 with a mean difference of 0.63mmol/mol and ultrasound imaging from 3.60±3.58 to 2.60±2.69 with a mean difference of 1.00cm in right ovaries whereas 4.50±0.16 to 3.18±0.49 with a mean difference of 1.32cm in left ovaries. Conclusion: The prolactin test, HbA1c and diagnostic ultrasound showed significant improvement therefore, manual therapy is a safe and cheap technique that can give timely and unprecedented results without any adverse effects.
