120 participantsStarted 2023-11-01

Plain-language summary

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most prevalent disorders worldwide. Insulin resistance, inflammation and disturbance in sex hormone levels are the main contributing factors of this disease.The majority of studies addressing the status of chronic low-grade inflammation in PCOS have focused on the measurement of C-reactive protein (CRP) followed by stimulation of interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha). Daflon 500 mg tablets (containing 90% of diosmin and 10% of hesperidin) is used in patients to treat varicose veins, venous ulcers, hemorrhoids and lymphatic insufficiency. It has anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, microcirculatory, and antioxidant effects. So the aim of the work is to investigate the effect of Diosmin/Hesperidin in the management of PCOS through evaluation of Oxidative stress and inflammation, improvement of signs and symptoms through patients' follow-up, improvement of PCOS status by sonography and hormonal levels, measuring of anti-diabetic effect by measuring, fasting insulin, HOMA-IR and measuring the improvement of patient's quality of life by using the women health questionnaire (WHQ).

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
