Restoring Metabolic and Reproductive Health With Sleep in PCOS Study, CPAP Trial
Sponsor: University of California, San Francisco
Summary
In this study, the researchers are trying to learn more about the relationship between Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). Obstructive Sleep Apnea is a sleep-related breathing disorder that involves a decrease or complete stop in airflow. The purpose of this study is to find out why some people with obstructive sleep apnea have higher levels of insulin resistance, and the investigators will study the role of hypoxia (low levels of oxygen in the blood at night) in insulin resistance and see if insulin resistance improves during your treatment with CPAP.

Interventions
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Device (CPAP)
Metabolic studies will be performed before and after initiation of CPAP therapy, which is currently the first-line standard of care for treatment of patients with OSA, both with and without hypoxia.
Delayed Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Device (CPAP)
Metabolic studies will be performed before and after the study period of 12 weeks. After 12 weeks, participants will immediate receive CPAP therapy, which is currently the first-line standard of care for treatment of patients with OSA, both with and without hypoxia.
