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 trial compares two medicines, metformin and myo-inositol, to see which works better for managing PCOS symptoms like irregular periods, excess hair, and acne. It may help you if you have PCOS and haven't started treatment yet.
This trial tests whether high intensity interval training (short bursts of intense exercise) can help improve insulin resistance in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). It may offer a way to manage symptoms through exercise.
This trial tests whether letrozole, a medicine that helps with ovulation, works for women with PCOS. It looks at lab results and ultrasound findings to see how well the treatment works.
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 trial compares two types of ovarian stimulation protocols (PPOS and antagonist) for women with PCOS undergoing IVF to see which leads to better outcomes. If you have PCOS and are planning IVF, this study may help find the best approach for you.
This study looks at fertility in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) compared to women without it, to better understand how PCOS affects fertility. If you have PCOS or have normal hormones and metabolism, and you were part of a previous study called METABOPK, you may be able to join.
