Interval training for insulin resistance in PCOS
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman diagnosed with PCOS by your doctor.
- You are between 20 and 35 years old.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 30 and 40, which is in the obese range.
- Your waist-to-hip ratio is greater than 0.8, meaning you carry more weight around your waist.
- You meet at least two of the standard Rotterdam criteria for PCOS, like irregular periods, high androgen levels, or ovarian cysts seen on ultrasound.

This study tests whether a structured exercise program can help women with PCOS (a hormonal condition), fatty pancreas, and early thyroid problems. The goal is to see if physical activity improves these conditions and reduces 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.
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 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 tests whether a light fasting diet combined with magnesium supplements can help people with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). It aims to see if this approach improves hormone balance and related symptoms.
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.
