  • Protocol summary

    Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the effects of melatonin supplementation on hormonal profiles, inflammatory factors, oxidative stress biomarkers and gene expression related to inflammation in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome. Study design: Parallel double-blind (both patients and researchers) clinical trial. Randomization will be done by the use of computer-generated random numbers. Inclusion criteria: Patients with polycystic ovary syndrome aged 18 to 40 years. Exclusion criteria: Unwillingness to cooperate. Population and sample size: Among patients with polycystic ovary syndrome referred to Kosar Clinic affiliated to Arak University of Medical Sciences, 60 patients will be selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Intervention: Patients will be assigned into two groups to receive melatonin supplements (n=30) or placebo (n=30). melatonin and placebo capsules are similar in shape and size. Fasting blood samples will be taken at baseline and 12 weeks after the intervention. At the beginning and the end of the intervention: 12 weeks. Outcomes: Malondialdehyde (primary outcome) and hormonal profiles, inflammatory factors and gene expression related to inflammation (secondary outcome) will be quantified at study baseline and end-of-trial.

    هدف: هدف این مطالعه تعیین اثرات مکمل ملاتونین بر پروفایل های هورمونی، فاکتورهای التهابی، بیومارکرهای استرس اکسیداتیو و بیان ژن مرتبط با التهاب در بیماران مبتلا به سندروم تخمدان پلی کیستیک است. طراحي انجام مطالعه: کارآزمایی بالینی دو سوکور (هم بیماران و هم محققان) موازی. تصادفی سازی با استفاده ازجدول اعداد تصادفی ایجاد شده توسط کامپیوتر انجام خواهد شد. معیار ورود به مطالعه: بیماران مبتلا به سندروم تخمدان پلی کیستیک در محدوده سنی 18 تا 40 سال. معیار خروج از مطالعه: عدم تمایل به همکاری. حجم نمونه و جمعیت مورد مطالعه: از بین بیماران مبتلا به سندروم تخمدان پلی کیستیک ارجاع شده به کلینیک کوثر وابسته به دانشگاه علوم پزشکی اراک، 60 بیمار بر اساس معیار های ورود و خروج از مطالعه انتخاب خواهند شد. مداخله مورد مطالعه: بیماران به دو گروه برای دریافت مکمل ملاتونین (30=n) یا پلاسبو (30=n) اختصاص داده خواهند شد. کپسول های ملاتونین و پلاسبو از نظر شکل و اندازه مشابه هستند. نمونه خون ناشتا در ابتدای مطالعه و 12 هفته بعد از مداخله از بیماران گرفته خواهد شد. زمان مداخله: 12 هفته. پيامدها: مالون دی آلدئید (پیامد اولیه) و پروفایل های هورمونی، فاکتورهای التهابی و بیان ژن مرتبط با التهاب (پیامدهای ثانویه) در ابتدا و انتهای مداخله اندازه گیری خواهد شد.
