Heart and blood vessel changes in women with PCOS after treatment
Treatments studied
Part of Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial looks at how the heart's blood vessels and certain markers change in women with PCOS when they drink a sugary solution (OGTT). It checks these markers before treatment starts and again 6 and 12 months after, to help understand cardiovascular risk in PCOS.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests if a special ketone drink can help women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Researchers want to see if it improves health markers related to the condition.
This trial tests whether fish oil and metformin can improve heart health in people with PCOS who are overweight or have high blood sugar or fats. It combines two common approaches to see if they work better together.
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.
This study tests how the body handles sugar (glucose) in women with a specific type of PCOS. It compares responses between women with PCOS and those without to understand metabolic changes.
This study looks at how weight changes affect hormone levels and insulin resistance in women with PCOS. It may help understand if weight cycling is harmful or helpful.
This study looks at glucose levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) using a continuous glucose monitor. It may help understand how blood sugar changes in women with PCOS.
