    management and care of patients to treat or alleviate conditions

    Medical Therapy, also known as Medical Treatment or Clinical Therapy, refers to the management and care of a patient to combat disease or alleviate symptoms. This can include the use of medications, lifestyle changes, physical therapy, and other non-surgical methods. For example, in the context of alopecia, medical therapy might involve the use of topical treatments like minoxidil or oral medications such as finasteride to promote hair growth and reduce hair loss.
