Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Omega-3 works to treat Polycystic ovary syndrome in women. It will also learn about the safety of drug Omega-3. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does Omega-3 lower the number of times participant to treat metabolic syndrome What medical problems do participants have when taking drug Omega-3.Researchers will compare drug Omega-3 to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if drug Omega-3 used to treat PCOS.

Participants will:

Take Omega-3 or a placebo every day for 3 months Visit the clinic once every 6 weeks for checkups and tests Keep a diary of their symptoms and menstrual history.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This research will be a single center study, utilizing a double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled trial design. A total of 62 women, with newly diagnosed PCOS, age range from 18-36 years will randomly be assigned to receive either Omega-3 supplementation (1gm twice daily) or a placebo for 12 weeks. Biochemical and anthropometric measurements, including lipid profile, fasting blood sugar, blood pressure, inflammatory markers (CRP) and body composition such as BMI, waist circumference will be assessed at baseline and post-intervention. Follow-up assessments will be conducted three months after supplementation to evaluate the sustainability of metabolic changes. For independent samples; t-test will be utilized to analyze the average differences in metabolic biomarker levels between the group receiving Omega-3 supplements and the group receiving a placebo. The Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test will be employed to compare the percentage of participants may show a significant change in metabolic biomarker in the group that received Omega-3 versus the group that received a placebo. Pearson or Spearman correlation tests will be used to explore any relationships between baseline Omega-3 levels and baseline inflammatory marker (CRP) and lipid profile levels, as well as between the change in Omega-3 levels and the change in inflammatory marker (CRP) and lipid profile levels
