Study aim
-
The goal: whether high-intensity interval training(HIIT) and nanoCurcumin supplementation in infertile women with PCOS causes changes in MicroRNA (miRNA) 29a-5p, 93,Anti Mullerian Hormone (AMH) and Body Mass Index (BMI)?
-
Design
-
A controlled, single-blind, randomized, phase 3 clinical trial with factorial design, on 40 patients.
How to randomize: 40 beads numbered from 1 to 4 are placed in a box. Then one of the beads is randomly took out, and people are classified into different groups based on the number.
-
Settings and conduct
-
Study place: in Roya infertility center, Qom province; The study population: infertile women with polycystic ovary syndrome; Type of blinding is single blind; The method of blinding will be in a way that the patients will be unaware of their treatment group, and the training-supplement group will receive nanocurcumin and the training-placebo group will receive capsules containing flour.
-
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
-
Inclusion criteria: infertile women, with PCOS, age between 20-38 years (fertility age). Exclusion criteria: cardiovascular and respiratory disease, use of hormonal drugs
-
Intervention groups
-
Intervention group 1: high-intensity interval training (HIIT)+ nanocurcumin; Intervention group 2: HIIT + placebo. Intervention group 3: Nano curcumin; Control group: placebo.
Training protocol: High-intensity interval training starts with 80% HRmax and ends with 95% HRmax intensity in the last weeks. These exercises are 3 days a week. During the period, participants in intervention group 1 and 3 will take 80 mg capsules of nanocurcumin with a daily dose, and the control group will also use a placebo.
