Pakistan147 participantsStarted 2019-10-15
Plain-language summary
The investigators aim is to conduct a double blind randomized clinical trial, to study the effects of triple drug cocktail (metformin, pioglitazone and acetyl L-Carnitine) therapy on metabolic, endocrine alterations and perceived stress response in patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). Women diagnosed with PCOS, using criteria proposed in November 2015, by the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE), American College of Endocrinology (ACE), and Androgen Excess and PCOS Society (AES) for PCOS should include two of the following three criteria: chronic an ovulation, hyperandrogenism (clinical/biologic), and polycystic ovaries. The investigators propose that PCOS women may have altered metabolic, endocrine levels and increased perceived stress response and combination therapy may have beneficial influences on these parameters in women diagnosed with PCOS.
