Short-term Structured Exercise Training Program Plus Diet Intervention in Patients With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2009-10-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: Female

Summary

Clomiphene citrate (CC) is the first-line therapy for infertile women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Unfortunately, at least 20% of PCOS results are not responsive to CC. Structured exercise training (SET) and diet has been successfully employed to restore ovarian function and to improve reproductive outcomes in obese and overweight women with PCOS. The current study was aimed to test the hypothesis that a short-term SET program plus diet intervention can improve the ovarian response to CC in CC-resistant PCOS patients.
