Stimulation Test Protocol

A Stimulation Test Protocol is a medical procedure used to evaluate how certain organs or glands, like the adrenal or pituitary, respond to specific stimuli. The healthcare provider administers a controlled substance or hormone and then measures the body's response, typically through blood tests. This process helps diagnose hormonal disorders or function abnormalities. The test is carefully planned with timing and dosages to ensure accurate results. It’s a key tool in understanding if the glands are working properly or if there’s an imbalance needing treatment.
