Independent and Additive Effects Of Micronutrients With Metformin In Patients With PCOS:A Double Blind Randomized Placebo Controlled Trial
Abstract
The investigators aim to conduct a double blind randomized clinical trial to study the independent and additive effects of micronutrients (Resveratrol, Acetyl-L Carnitine, L Arginine and COQ10 ) with Metformin in patients with PCOS .Women diagnosed with PCOS according to National Institute of Health( NIH) 2012 extension of European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology /American Society of Reproductive Medicine ESHRE /ASRM 2003 criteria will be included according to a specific phenotype including Hyperandrogenism, Ovulatory dysfunction and Polycystic Ovarian Morphology. The investigators propose that by using combination therapy with micro supplements like Resveratrol, Acetyl-L Carnitine, L Arginine and COQ10 will produce greater improvement better than or at least comparable to Metformin in metabolic and endocrine profile of patients with PCOS.
Conditions: PCOS.
Primary outcome: Insulin Resistance; Menstural Irregularities; Anti mullerian Hormone; Dehydroepiandrosterone.
Enrollment: 120 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design. Reported size: 120 participants or records.
