Could stem cells help women with PCOS get pregnant?
NCT ID NCT05279768
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether umbilical cord stem cells and their secretions (secretomes) can help women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) who also have insulin resistance. 44 women received either stem cells, secretomes, both, or a control treatment. The goal was to see if these treatments could improve insulin resistance and hormone levels, potentially aiding fertility.
