Overview

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common reproductive disease associated with endocrine and metabolic disorders. Some studies have shown that Chinese herbal medicine is beneficial for PCOS, but the efficacy of Chinese herbal medicine in the treatment of PCOS is not clear, because the quantity of pre-clinical data was limited and the quality of clinical evidence was variable. Therefore, this randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial aim to evaluate the efficacy of Chinese herbal medicine (Jianpi Qushi Huatan Decoction) in women with PCOS.
