Study Description

Why is this study being done?

The objective of this study is to gather data on the effectiveness and safety of the investigational
Ovarian RebalancingTM procedure, to restore ovulation in women with infertility due to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The investigational Ovarian Rebalancing procedure heats a small portion of ovarian tissue with the goal of restoring ovulation. This one-time, outpatient investigational procedure, can be performed under sedation, and should take about one-hour. Weekly blood tests up to three (3) months will check for ovulation, and follow-up visits at the study center will be conducted over 36 months.
