Comparing two ways to measure insulin resistance in PCOS
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two methods (HOMA1-IR and HOMA2-IR) of measuring insulin resistance to see which one better predicts whether women with PCOS will ovulate after treatment. It aims to find a simple blood test that could help guide fertility treatment.

This study compares two common treatments for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) to see which works better. If you join, you will receive either one of these medicines, which may help regulate your periods and reduce related symptoms.
This study tests whether high intensity interval training (short bursts of exercise) can improve how the body uses insulin in women with PCOS who are overweight. It aims to help manage insulin resistance, which is common in PCOS.
This study looks at how well the medicine letrozole helps women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) ovulate. It checks if certain lab and ultrasound findings predict how well someone responds to the treatment.
This study compares two ways of retrieving eggs for fertility treatment in women with PCOS. One method is called IVM (maturation of eggs in the lab) and the other is conventional ovarian stimulation (taking hormones to mature eggs in the body). The goal is to see how each affects a woman's physical and mental well-being during the treatment process.
This study looks at how polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects fertility. They will compare women with PCOS to those without to learn more about the condition. The findings may help improve fertility care for women with PCOS.
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.
