Trial Outcomes & Findings for The Effect of Vitamin D Supplementation Among Overweight Jordanian Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) (NCT NCT02328404)

NCT ID: NCT02328404

Last Updated: 2016-08-04

Results Overview

Evaluation of the efficacy of the dosing regimen as per the approved Summery of Product Characteristics (SmPC) (50,000 IU vitamin D3 once weekly for 3 months) on improvement in PCOS prognosis clinically using ultrasound examination. In this measure the reported results were the finding of the ultrasound examination after the course of the treatment /intervention as per the study protocol and reporting the numbers of patients with normal ovaries, One normal ovary and the other is polycystic or both ovaries are poly-cystic. An improvement in PCOS prognosis clinically by ultrasound examination is defined by: * decreasing the number of follicles to \< 12 follicles measuring 2-9 mm in diameter * decreasing ovarian volume to \< 10 cm3

Evaluation of the efficacy of the dosing regimen as per the approved SmPC (50,000 IU vitamin D3 once weekly for 3 months) on improvement in PCOS prognosis by assessment of menstrual regularity An improvement in PCOS prognosis by assessment of menstrual regularity is measured through improving progesterone level \> 4 ng/mL. One of the clinical signs of improving PCOS prognosis is menstrual cycle regularity. In this measure ,the reported results consist of the number of volunteers/patients in each arm either with regular menstrual cycle or irregular menstrual cycle after completing the course of the treatment/ intervention as per the study protocol.

Each participant answered the hirsutism test with the help of a trained nurse who was working in the same clinic. The score of each body site may range between 0 (no excessive terminal hair growth) to 4 (extensive terminal hair growth). In this measure , the hirsutism score were reported in each are after completing the course of treatment/ intervention as per the study protocol. after which, the means were compared for statistical significance between the two groups / arms.
