Active clinical trials for "Polycystic Ovary Syndrome"

The purpose of this study is to determine if vitamin D will improve insulin resistance, inflammation, and overall well-being in women with PCOS.

The purpose of this study to assess early markers of cardiovascular disease in women with polycystic ovary syndrome in use of oral contraceptive containing ethynilestradiol and chlormadinone acetate alone or associated with Spironolactone.

The aim of study was to investigate whether pre-treatment with metformin before and during IVF increases the live birth rate compared to placebo in women with sonographic evidence of polycystic ovaries (PCO), but without any clinical manifestations of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine whether reduction of serum insulin levels by metformin increases ovulatory response to clomiphene citrate in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

We designed a study to determine if ovarian volume (OV) and/or follicle number (FN) are independently associated with abnormal metabolic findings in women diagnosed with PCOS. We hypothesized that ovarian morphology but not follicle number would be associated with a significantly higher odds of hyperinsulinemia among women with PCOS.

Berberine is a plant alkaloid, reportedly possesses a wide range of pharmacological activities, including anti-obesity and anti-dyslipidemia. Berberine is an effective insulin sensitizer and has a comparable activity to MET in reducing IR. A large body of evidence suggest that Berberine dietary supplementation helps in improvement of symptoms associated with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). The purpose of this study is to investigate the treatment benefits of Berberine in women with PCOS.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of whole body vibration on insulin resistance in females with polycystic ovarian syndrome

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common Female endocrine disorder , with a prevalence ranging between 6% to10% based on the National Institutes of Health (NIH) criteria and when the broader Rotterdam criteria are applied it reaches as high as 15%. Typically, PCOS can identify during the early adolescence. Insulin resistance is a common finding in the obese women with PCOS. It is most prevalent and severe in PCOS phenotype involving hyperandrogenism and chronic anovulation. Women with PCOS who have regular cycles are metabolically less abnormal. Acanthosis nigricans (AN) is a dermatosis characterized by velvety, papillomatous, brownish-black, hyperkeratotic plaques, typically of the intertriginous surfaces and neck. Although AN is associated with malignancy, the recognition of its more common connection to obesity and insulin resistance allows for diagnosis of related disorders including type 2 diabetes, the metabolic syndrome, and polycystic ovary syndrome. Significant improvements in ovulation and pregnancy rates as a result of clomiphene treatment after metformin in women with clomiphene-resistant PCOS were reported in a popular randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial . The first pharmacological approach to induction of ovulation in women with PCOS is clomiphene citrate

The aim of this study is to investigate the safety and metabolic-hormonal efficiency of supplementation vitamin D deficient/insufficient PCOS women with (calcium +vitamin D + metformin) for 8 weeks compared to (placebo+ metformin).

Participants with PCOS will be divided into two groups then each group will randomly recieve one of the following treatment metformin will be adminstered in adose of 500 mg 3 times daily for 3 months to group B. pioglitazone will be administered in adose of 30 mg dialy for 3 months to group A. Induction of ovulation by clomiphene citate 50 mg tablets to all participants
