Do you have problems with irregular periods and weight? If so, you may have a condition called polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). This disorder is related to a problem with blood sugar control and may increase the risk of diabetes.We are investigating whether a natural substance, cinnamon, may be beneficial in improving blood sugar control and menstrual cycle regularity in women with PCOS. The study requires eight physician visits in Manhattan over 6 months and includes free physical exam, pelvic ultrasound, and laboratory assessment of insulin resistance. Participants should have had less than 2 periods in the last 6 months and not be on birth control pills or metformin (Glucophage) for at least 1 month prior to starting the study. Qualified participants will be compensated $150. If you or a family member are between the ages of 18 to 35 and want to participate in the study, please call Columbia University Medical Center (212) 305-6337. The follow-up trial we are conducting is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double blinded study on the use of oral cinnamon extract to improve menstrual regularity and to reduce insulin resistance in PCOS over a 6-month period. Unfortunately the study is only based at Columbia and participants will have to be make 8 visits to the office over the study period. For logistical reasons, interested study participants should be from the local area and can contact me, Jeff directly by email @ jw781@columbia.edu or through Reba at (212)305-6337.

There are tons of studies. I am in the Chicagoland area. The University of Chicago (which has a huge PCOS center) is doing a study. Also, Northwestern is doing a different study. I called to get info about the UofC one, but was too late. I email Northwestern, but haven't heard back. Do a search online for hospitals and universities in your area. You may be able to find one. Good luck.

I got an email about the Northwestern one. PM me your email address if you want me to forward it to you. Unfortunately, it does require travel to Chicago, despite what the CenterWatch ad says. Travel is paid for, but I wouldn't be able to get off work as often as they need, so I won't be able to participate. But being close, you probably would!
