PCOS and Brain Health
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses brain imaging (MRI) to compare brain health in people with PCOS versus healthy volunteers. It aims to understand how PCOS may affect the brain and potentially guide future treatments.

This study aims to better understand what causes polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and how it develops. Researchers will review your existing medical records and lab results to identify patterns that might explain why some people develop PCOS.
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.
This study is looking for people who have PCOS based on a specific medical diagnosis standard called the Rotterdam criteria. If you match that diagnosis, the study may test treatments or strategies for PCOS and how well they work.
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 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.
This study looks at differences in gut and vaginal bacteria in people with PCOS (a hormone-related condition). You may help researchers understand what bacterial patterns are linked to PCOS and why that might matter for symptoms.
