Are there any other options for PCOS?

• UVa Health System, Department of Obstetrics and
  Gynecology, seeks female volunteers, ages 18 to
  43, with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) for
  research study
• Do you have one or more of these symptoms?
• Infrequent, irregular or no periods
• Undesired hair growth on face and body
• Weight gain
• Acne
• If so, you may qualify to participate in
  this study. Some of the usual treatment options
  for PCOS may include birth control pills,
  fertility medications, or prescription drugs
  like metformin. The purpose of the study is to
  test if acupuncture restores monthly periods (and
  the related hormones) in women with PCOS. The
  study takes place over 5 months. Participants
  will be assigned by chance to either an
  acupuncture group or a placebo-acupuncture group.
  The study includes glucose (sugar) fasting
  tests, blood draws, urine pregnancy tests and
  questionnaires. Study-related exams, tests,
  parking and three meals are provided free of
  charge. Compensation for study completion is
  170.00.
