Filter by:The purpose of this clinical trial is to look at the effectiveness of prescribing yoga classes to patients with dysmenorrhea (irregular or painful periods), or other menstrual disorders on patients' self reported pain and quality of life. Patients will be recruited from primary care clinics around Illinois, including Carle Hospital. This is a randomized trial in which patients will first be randomized into the control or intervention group. Patients in the control group will undergo usual care and be surveyed at baseline, 3 months, 6 months and 9 months. Patients in the control group will be offered the 3 months of yoga therapy complimentary after completing the 9 month control. Control patients who choose to participate in the yoga therapy will be asked to also complete the surveys at the end of the 3 month yoga intervention. Patients in the intervention group will first undergo 3 months of regular care and then 3 months of biweekly yoga classes. Participants will complete surveys at baseline, 3 months (after of control care), 6 months (after 3 months of biweekly yoga classes), 9 months, and 12 months (after 6 months of observation and optional yoga practice).
The Offspring Born to Mothers with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Guangzhou Cohort study (PCOS-BIG) was established to investigate the short- and long-term effects of intrauterine exposure to maternal PCOS on the health of offspring in Guangzhou, China. Data are collected regarding maternal PCOS subtypes, nursing, diet and education as well as health outcomes in their later life. Biological samples including blood and tissue samples are also collected from participants.
The aim of this work is to compare the clinical outcomes of letrozole with laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) in patients with clomiphene-citrate-resistant polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
This study is a randomized assessor-blind controlled trial. A total of 1,100 women with PCOS will be recruited from 28 hospitals and randomly allocated into four groups: personalized acupuncture, fixed acupuncture, letrozole or placebo letrozole. Patients will receive treatment for 16 weeks and the primary outcome is live birth.
This study is undertaken to compare effectiveness of homoeopathic treatment versus integrated approach of homoeopathy and yoga in the treatment of menstrual disorders in females with Polycystic ovarian syndrome.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common cause of ovulation disorders and affects 10 to 15% of women. Despite its frequency, its physiopathology remains unknown. In women, Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is secreted by granulosa cells located in the ovaries within the follicles. Compared to control women, serum AMH level is higher in PCOS women and could play a role in its pathophysiology. The severity of the PCOS phenotype is correlated with the production of AMH. It is currently described in the literature that daughters of women with PCOS have a 50% risk of developing PCOS, but no genetic cause of transmission is known. In mice (article in press), pregnant females injected with AMH give birth to offspring with PCOS symptoms. The AMH could thus also play a role in the heritability of PCOS in women. Our team demonstrated that AMH, in its active cleaved form, had a direct central action on the hypothalamus by increasing the pulsatility of GnRH, inducing LH hypersecretion. The hypothesis is that AMH remains higher in pregnant women with PCOS and may affect the fetus by altering fetal and maternal hypothalamic secretions or by modifying placental steroid production. Leptin has a role in reproduction, through its receptors located at the central (hypothalamus) and peripheral (granulosa cells) levels. In excessively high serum concentration, as observed in obesity, it would lead to a dysregulation of GnRH secretion, an alteration of ovarian steroidogenesis and a dysregulation of folliculogenesis. Will be compare leptin levels in first trimester patients with and without PCOS to look for possible correlations between AMH and leptin and eliminate possible bias.
The purpose of this study is to determine if estradiol augmentation of luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion secretion (primary endpoint) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) secretion (secondary endpoint) is reduced in adult women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
The aim of this work is to evaluate the effect of vitamin D supplementation in overweight infertile women with PCOs undergoing induction of ovulation.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness on the clinical and biological parameters of reproductive-aged PCOS women after a 12-week metformin and/or probiotics administration.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrinopathy affecting women of reproductive age. The pathogenesis of PCOS is not fully understood. The intestinal microbiota are believed to be associated with the development of insulin resistance and obesity, and therefore contributing to the development of PCOS. Incresed permeability of the intestinal mucosal barier and absorbtion of lipoproteinase (LPS) from G (-) bacteria promotes chronic inflammation and may lead to insulin resistance. Approximately 50-60% of women suffering from PCOS are obese. It is known that lifestyle modification and body mass reduction improves endocrine parameters and restores ovulatory menstrual cycles in most patients. Currently, the use of probiotics and prebiotics is playing an increasingly important role in the treatment of obesity through the modulation of intestinal microflora. The objectives of the study are based on the following assumptions: 1. Insulin resistance and compensatory hyperinsulinemia are important aspects in the pathogenesis of PCOS and co-morbidity of cardiovascular disease. 2. Aberrations in the intestinal microflora are associated with the development of obesity and insulin resistance. 3. Dietary modification combined with probiotic supplementation improves endocrine and metabolic profiles in women with PCOS.
