Brief Summary:
This study will be conducted to investigate the effect of laser acupuncture on insulin resistance in obese women with polycystic ovarian syndrome
Detailed Description:
Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome PCOS face an increased risk of various health issues including glucose intolerance type 2 diabetes hypertension dyslipidemia and subfertility The prevalence of insulin resistance IR in PCOS can range from 44 to 70 with longitudinal studies indicating that worsening IR over time in obese women with PCOS is associated with an increased risk of early-onset type 2 diabetes
Conventional interventions such as oral contraceptives metformin and hormonal therapy have been developed to address the effects of PCOS However these treatments can have adverse side effects including an increased risk of estrogen-related cancers Consequently lifestyle modifications to prevent aberrant immune activation and minimize exposure to inflammatory agents have emerged as a more sustainable approach
Emerging evidence suggests the potential of alternative physical therapy modalities such as transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation electro-acupuncture and laser acupuncture in managing PCOS Laser acupuncture in particular has been shown to reduce sympathetic activity decrease ovarian androgen release and modulate the activity of higher centers ultimately influencing gonadotropin-releasing hormone secretion and the menstrual cycle Additionally laser acupuncture may reduce the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines which contribute to insulin resistance and atherosclerosis
While a few studies have investigated the effects of laser acupuncture on insulin resistance in obese women with PCOS further research is needed to provide deeper insights into the benefits of this intervention and its role in managing insulin resistance in this population which could expand the clinical applications of laser therapy in physical therapy
