    Random assignment was done by the use of computer-generated random numbers.Population and sample size: 60 patients with PCOS among women of eligible and referred to Kosar Clinic affiliated to Arak University of Medical Sciences, Arak, Iran in the study will be selected.
    Study design: Parallel double-blind (both patients and researchers) clinical trial. Randomization will be done by the use of computer-generated random numbers.
    تصادفی سازی با استفاده از اعداد تصادفی ایجاد شده توسط کامپیوتر انجام می شود. حجم نمونه و جمعیت مورد مطالعه: 60 بیمار مبتلا به سندروم تخمدان پلی کیستیک در میان زنان واجد شرایط و ارجاع شده به کلینیک کوثر وابسته به دانشگاه علوم پزشکی اراک، اراک، ایران در مطالعه انتخاب خواهند شد.
    طراحي انجام مطالعه: کارآزمایی بالینی دو سوکور (هم بیماران و هم محققان) موازی. تصادفی سازی با استفاده از جدول اعداد تصادفی ایجاد شده توسط کامپیوتر انجام خواهد شد.
    60 بیمار مبتلا به سندروم تخمدان پلی کیستیک در میان زنان واجد شرایط و ارجاع شده به کلینیک کوثر وابسته به دانشگاه علوم پزشکی اراک، اراک، ایران در مطالعه انتخاب خواهند شد.
    60 بیمار مبتلا به سندرم تخمدان پلی کیستیک در میان زنان واجد شرایط و ارجاع شده به کلینیک کوثر وابسته به دانشگاه علوم پزشکی اراک، اراک، ایران در مطالعه انتخاب خواهند شد.

    معیار ورود به مطالعه: بیماران مبتلا به سندرم تخمدان پلی کیستیک بر اساس معیار روتردام و در محدوده سنی 18 تا 40 سال وارد مطالعه خواهند شد. معیار خروج از مطالعه: افراد سیگاری، مصرف مکمل های پروبیوتیک و سین بیوتیک، زنان باردار، بیماری های اندوکرین ازجمله تیروئید، دیابت و اختلال در تحمل گلوکز، مشکلات گوارشی
    Outcomes: Metabolic profiles and biomarkers of oxidative stress will be measured at study baseline and after 12 weeks of intervention.
    Outcomes: Hormonal profiles (primary outcomes) and biomarkers of oxidative stress and hormonal (secondary outcome) will be quantified at study baseline and end-of-trial.
    پروفایل های متابولیک و بیومارکرهای استرس اکسیداتیو در ابتدا و 12 هفته بعد از مداخله اندازه گیری خواهد شد.
    پيامدها: پروتئین واکنشگر C با حساسیت بالا (Hs-CRP) (پیامد اولیه) و بیومارکرهای استرس اکسیداتیو و هورمونی (پیامدهای ثانویه) در ابتدا و انتهای مداخله اندازه گیری خواهد شد.

    Simple randomization
    At study baseline and after stratification for pre-intervention BMI and age, subjects will be randomly divided into two groups to take synbiotic supplements (n = 30) or placebo (n = 30). Randomization will be done by the use of computer-generated random numbers.
    تصادفی سازی ساده
    در ابتدای مطالعه و بعد از طبقه بندی بر اساس مقادیر پایه نمایه توده بدنی و سن، افراد به طور تصادفی به دو گروه برای دریافت مکمل سین بیوتیک (n = 30) و پلاسبو (n = 30) تخصیص داده می شوند. تصادفی سازی با استفاده از اعداد تصادفی ایجاد شده توسط کامپیوتر انجام خواهد شد.
    Placebo has been used to achieve masking of participants and investigators. The researchers and patients will be concealed until the final analyses by a trained staff.
    Participants, investigators or the assessors of the outcomes are unaware of the study groups.
    از پلاسبو برای کور سازی استفاده شده است. محققان و بیماران کور تا زمان آنالیز نهایی توسط یک کارمند آموزش دیده خواهند شد.
