Interval training for insulin resistance in PCOS
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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 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 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 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 whether eating only during a set window of time each day can improve symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). It may help with weight, blood sugar, and hormone balance.
This trial tests whether acupuncture can help improve insulin resistance in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). It may offer a non-drug option to help manage blood sugar and related symptoms.
