NCT ID NCT07289399
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether adding treadmill walking to a low-calorie diet can improve psoriasis and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in women. Forty obese women with both conditions will be split into two groups: one does diet plus walking, the other does diet only. The trial lasts 12 weeks and measures skin severity, body mass index, waist size, and hormone levels.
