Time-restricted eating for polycystic ovary syndrome
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether limiting eating to certain hours of the day (time-restricted eating) can help women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) improve their health. It compares this eating pattern to usual care to see if it helps with weight and hormone balance.
