Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Response - NO
Brief Summary   We are conducting an explorative, randomized, double- blinded, SHAM- controlled trial at the outpatient clinic at the department of Gynaecology in collaboration with the Departments of Cardiology, Endocrinology and Radiology at IMS, BHU, Varanasi.
We will include 50 pre- menopausal women with classical PCOS fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria as described earlier. 
The patients will be randomly assigned 1:1 to RIPC (Remote Ischemic Pre- Conditioning) or SHAM group using block method once daily for 7 days . Outcome variables as described will be measured at baseline and RIPC.
The intervention group will recieve a RIPC protocol of 4 cycles of 5 minutes each with occlusion to 220 mmHg with standard sphymomanometer BP cuff on the right arm followed by 5 minutes re-perfusion . One intervention of 4 cycles amounting to 35 minutes will be performed daily for 7 days. 
The SHAM procedure will consist of a pressure cuff , inflated on the right upper arm for the same periods as the RIPC intervention but only to 40 mmHg as it has shown to mimic occlusion but not limiting blood flow.
