PCOS, Insulin Resistance, and Fertility Study
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and insulin resistance (a condition where your body doesn't use insulin well) are linked to energy problems in cells (mitochondrial dysfunction). It aims to understand how these conditions affect fertility in women.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have PCOS or insulin resistance, or both.
- You have had trouble getting pregnant (infertility) linked to other health conditions.
- You know you have a problem with the energy-producing parts of your cells (mitochondrial dysfunction).
- You are generally healthy enough to participate without serious risk.

This study looks at how well the body uses insulin (insulin sensitivity) across different ages, sexes, races, body weights, and whether someone has PCOS. It may help researchers understand why insulin function varies and how PCOS could be linked to metabolic health.
This study looks at hormone and metabolic changes in women with polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS), a condition related to polycystic ovary syndrome. It aims to understand the condition better and may help guide future treatments.
This study looks at hormone and blood test patterns in certain women, including those with PCOS, repeat miscarriages, or specific pregnancy sugar/itching conditions. It may help doctors better understand what’s going on and how these conditions relate to reproductive outcomes.
This study looks at a tool to help diagnose polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) more accurately and guide treatment. PCOS is a common hormone problem that can cause irregular periods, extra hair, and other symptoms.
This study tests whether acupuncture or the diabetes medicine metformin can improve insulin resistance in women with PCOS. It may help with hormone-related symptoms and metabolic health, comparing the two approaches against usual care for non-PCOS controls.
