Combined Metformin and Clomiphene Citrate Versus Laparoscopic Ovarian Diathermy for Ovulation Induction in Clomiphene-resistant Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to compare and determine the efficacy of combined metformin and Clomiphene citrate administration to that of laparoscopic ovarian diathermy (LOD) in infertile women with Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) not responding to treatment with Clomiphene alone.
Conditions: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
Primary outcome: occurrence of ovulation and midcycle endometrial thickness (mm)..
Enrollment: 282 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 282 participants or records.
