What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
RADITIONAL MODERATE INTENSITY TRAININGOther
It consists of patients who will receive High-intensity interval training, including running as well as walking at 80% to 95% HR peak. Which is monitored by a smart watch. Before starting treatment, it follows a 10-minute warm-up exercise which includes basic stretches (Quads, Hams, and calf muscles) with a 30-second hold of both legs and same exercise will be pursued for the cool-down period. This intervention will be performed 5 days per week for 4 weeks.
The total duration of this session will be 50 minutes
HIGH INTENSITY INTERVAL TRAININGOther
It consists of patients who will receive Moderate-intensity interval training, including running as well as walking at 60% HR peak. Which is monitored by a smart watch. Before starting treatment, it follows a 10-minute warm-up exercise which includes basic stretches (Quads, Hams, and calf muscles) with a 30-second hold of both legs and same exercise will be pursued for the cool-down period. This intervention will be performed 5 days per week for 4 weeks.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Hamilton Anxiety Rating scale (HAM-A)
The HAM-A was one of the first rating scales developed to measure the severity of anxiety symptoms, and is still widely used today in both clinical and research settings. The scale consists of 14 items, each defined by a series of symptoms, and measures both psychic anxiety (mental agitation and psychological distress) and somatic anxiety (physical complaints related to anxiety). Although the HAM-A remains widely used as an outcome measure in clinical trials. Each item is scored on a scale of 0 (not present) to 4 (severe), with a total score range of 0-56, where <17 indicates mild severity, 18-24 mild to moderate severity and 25-30 moderate to severe. Reliability and concurrent validity of the HAM-A and its subscales were sufficient. The Cronbach's α of the Hamilton Anxiety Scale was 0.89
Measured: 4th week
The Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Health-Related Quality of Life Questionnaire (PCOSQ)
The PCOSQ consists of five domains, each relating to a common symptom of PCOS; body hair, emotions, infertility, menstrual problems and infertility. Each question on the PCOSQ is associated with a 7-point scale in which 7 represents optimal function and 1 the poorest function. All five PCOSQ dimensions were internally reliable with Cronbach's alpha scores ranging from 0.70 to 0.97. Intra-class correlation coefficients to evaluate test-retest reliability were high (range 0.89-0.95, P < 0.001). All five PCOSQ dimensions were internally reliable with Cronbach's α scores ranging from 0.70 to 0.97. Construct validity was demonstrated by high correlations for PCOSQ (0.49 and 0.54)
Measured: 4th week
The Fatigue Impact Scale (FIS)
The FIS was developed to assess the symptom of fatigue as part of an underlying chronic disease or condition. Daily Fatigue Impact Scale (D-FIS) consist of eight items that could be used for monitoring daily changes in fatigue. The test-retest reliability of FIS was good in terms of its cognitive, physical, and psychosocial subscales and total scores, with ICC values of 0.78, 0.73, 0.80, and 0.83, respectively
Measured: 4th week

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing RADITIONAL MODERATE INTENSITY TRAINING and HIGH INTENSITY INTERVAL TRAINING in people with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, run by Riphah International University at 1 site in Pakistan.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Sep 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Pakistan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Hamilton Anxiety Rating scale (HAM-A) (time frame: 4th week). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06303219, which also lists 9 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Sep 2024.
