Study Focus: This research explores the connection between Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), a condition where breathing stops during sleep. The study aims to understand how OSA affects insulin resistance, which is when the body doesn't use insulin well, leading to high blood sugar levels. Researchers want to see if using CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure), a device that helps with breathing during sleep, can improve insulin resistance in people with PCOS.
- Study Length: The study involves a 12-week CPAP trial.
- Visits & Tests: Participants will undergo various tests to assess insulin resistance and other health aspects.
- Eligibility: Participants must be aged 18-40 with moderate-to-severe OSA and a PCOS diagnosis.
By participating, you may help answer whether CPAP treatment can benefit those with PCOS and OSA. However, certain health conditions like diabetes or asthma may exclude you from joining. If eligible, you'll help advance understanding and treatment of these conditions.
