Abstract

PURPOSE: Clinical trials are advancing the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), an endocrine disorder affecting 8-13% of women. Lifestyle interventions, including nutritional plans, physical activity, and stress management, can improve reproductive hormones and metabolic health. Novel pharmacotherapies targeting hormonal, metabolic, and reproductive abnormalities are being explored for individualized treatment. Combination therapies and lifestyle interventions like acupuncture, high-intensity interval training, and vitamin D3 supplementation are also being explored. METHODS: We conducted a narrative review by searching English-language studies across electronic databases such as PubMed, Science direct, and Google Scholar for articles related to the topics of PCOS and novel drug therapies such as metformin, LIK-066, elagolix, saxenda, exenatide, clomiphene, letrozole, and other diagnostic interventions. Our review excluded preclinical studies and articles not in english. FINDINGS: In addition to pharmacological treatments, lifestyle interventions such as Tung's acupuncture, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), and vitamin D3 supplementation have proven effective in managing symptoms of PCOS and enhancing overall health outcomes. These interventions offer a complementary approach to traditional medical therapies, emphasizing the importance of integrating lifestyle modifications into the treatment plan for women with PCOS. IMPLICATIONS: This comprehensive approach underscores the importance of tailored treatments in optimizing clinical outcomes and quality of life for women with PCOS. The aim of this review is to highlight recent advancements in the treatment of PCOS through clinical trials and emerging pharmacotherapies, emphasizing the need for individualized and multifaceted treatment approaches.
