Summary

This study is designed as a prospective, multicenter, parallel-group randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of a "precision acupuncture + personalized lifestyle" intervention, guided by dynamic multimodal risk monitoring based on the four diagnostic methods of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), in improving insulin resistance in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Compared with "conventional acupuncture + standard lifestyle intervention," the study will primarily assess changes in the homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) after 12 weeks of treatment. The safety of the intervention, improvements in endocrine and metabolic profiles, menstrual and ovulatory outcomes, psychological status, quality of life, and health-economic outcomes will also be evaluated. The study aims to provide evidence for establishing an intelligent and individualized clinical management model for PCOS.
