NCT ID NCT07446985
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether adding regular walking to a low-calorie diet and metformin can improve lung function and weight in women who have both PCOS and asthma. Forty obese women will be split into two groups: one does exercise plus diet and metformin, the other only diet and metformin. The goal is to see if exercise provides extra benefits for breathing and body mass.

- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could show that combining exercise with diet and metformin improves breathing and weight in women with PCOS and asthma.
