Active clinical trials for "Infertility, Female"

The objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of adjuvant growth hormone injection during controlled ovarian stimulation, in poor responder women undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) procedures.

This study is for evaluating safety and efficacy of Recombinant human follicle-stimulating hormone (Follitrope) injection compared with Gonal-F® Pen undergoing controlled ovarian hyper stimulation in vitro fertilization - embryo transfer (IVF-ET) in China

Infertility affects approximately 48 million couples and 186 million individuals globally, and it has biological, psychosocial, and economic problems in couples. It is a vital global reproductive health problem that has burdens and affects not only families but also society and the state. Studies indicate that many situations experienced during the infertility treatment process negatively affect the treatment results, and the anxiety of individuals receiving treatment, especially women, is high. The previous literature reports that during the infertility treatment process, women experience a decrease in their anxiety and self-confidence about drug administration, they have doubts about the dose, administration, and time of drugs, and the rate of mistakes made regarding drug administration is too high to be ignored. Such cases may lead to cycle cancellations in infertility treatment, interrupting the treatment, adversely affecting the success of the treatment, and thus exposing the couple to more than one treatment trial. The interruption of the treatment with the cycle cancellation, the increase in the number of treatment attempts, the repetitions cause the woman to be exposed to a higher amount of drug, the cost to increase with each treatment trial, an increase in the economic burden of the couples, and an increase in the financial burden for the country. In addition to these physical and economic burdens, feelings such as anxiety, concern, hopelessness, and depression increase in couples, and they may eventually experience burnout. In order to improve the care of infertile individuals, it is clearly stated in the literature that couples need open communication channels with health care professionals, obtaining qualified information, instilling realistic hope, empowerment, accessibility of care services, and they have unmet and high-quality care needs. The increase in the use and use of web-based education services in the globalizing world gives us hope in providing a solution to this issue. This project was mainly designed to answer the question of "Is the responsive web-based roadmap (InT-mAp) developed in solving the problems encountered in drug administration, treatment success and reducing anxiety in infertile women treated with Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART)?" With InT-mAp, which investigators will develop using web-based education technology, which is a distance education method in this age of technology; investigators aimed to reduce/reduce the margin of error in ART treatment-drug practices, to contribute positively to the treatment process, and to reduce the social, economic and psychological burdens by reducing the anxiety level of individuals in this process. Besides, the InT-mAp, which will be developed to meet individuals' education and counseling needs for general infertility issues and the treatment process, will reduce the workload of healthcare professionals working in this field and make a positive contribution to drug administration consultancy. With this study, investigators aimed to provide participants with time-saving, individualized care, to reach the right information whenever they want, regardless of time and place, on every subject they need in the field of infertility. Investigators predict that sufficient follicle development, healthy oocytes and pregnancy can be achieved by creating awareness in infertile women and minimizing the conditions that may adversely affect the treatment process and results. Contributing to the health and economic indicators of the country by reducing cycle cancellations and reducing costs are among our important goals. The most important features that make the project unique are the absence of online support and a sensitive web-based training platform, where the infertility treatment process in Turkey can be followed in detail by the users, and individualized care and training needs are met.

Depended on the hypothesis that growth asynchrony of antral follicles is a consequence of the gradual follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) elevation that occurs during the late luteal phase, the aim of this work is to study the effect of estradiol pretreatment on follicular synchronization and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) outcome in antagonist cycles

Is already demonstrated that around 30% of patients undergoing an artificial cycle with vaginal progesterone do not reach a minimum threshold value of serum progesterone levels on the day of embryo transfer. Women with serum progesterone levels below this threshold have 20% lower ongoing pregnancy and live birth rates, decreasing their chances of success. However, the cause of this high heterogeneity in exogenous vaginal progesterone absorption among our patients remains unknown. It has been suggested that vaginal microbiome, and vaginal pH (due to its impact in microbiota growth), may explain the differences in vaginal progesterone absorption. The aim of the present pilot study is to assess if certain vaginal conditions, such as its microbiome status or its pH level, might affect vaginal progesterone absorption (measured by serum progesterone levels) and, in turn, the chances of success. In order to evaluate it, a prospective cohort unicentric study will be conducted in IVI RMA Valencia (Spain). Infertile patients undergoing an embryo transfer in the context of an artificial cycle when using vaginal progesterone will be recruited. Serum progesterone and estradiol levels, microbiome genetic analysis in vaginal samples and vaginal pH will be measured both on the embryo transfer-scheduling day and on the embryo transfer day.

The effect of use of the growth hormone with antagonist protocol on the outcome of the IVF/ICSI cycles in poor responders.

According the World Health Organization (WHO), infertility is a disease of the male or female reproductive system defined by the failure to achieve a pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular unprotected sexual intercourse. In-vitro-fertilization (IVF) is considered to be a successful tool to overcome infertility. However, the current methods used to assess the ovarian reserve and to develop an optimal individualized controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) protocol have shown some limitations. Growing evidence indicates that altered renal renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and/or melatonin are linked to infertility. Aims and Objectives: The current 2 years duration study aims first to investigate the demographic and clinical profiles of patients undergoing IVF in the UAE. In the second phase of the study, we hypothesis that an altered angiotensin-melatonin axis may be considered as an unfavorable prognosis factor in poor and hyper responders undergoing IVF treatment. This hypothesis will be assessed using an observational, longitudinal, prospective clinical study to determine whether the urinary angiotensinogen and/or melatonin deficiency might be present in poor and hyper responders undergoing IVF treatment. Thus, negatively impacting the clinical pregnancy rate. Methodology: various patient's data will be collected using a questionnaire and the levels of angiotensinogen and melatonin in patient's urine will be measured using ELISA test prior to, during and after the IVF treatment. To determine whether the angiotensinogen-melatonin axis disruption affects the IVF treatment outcome, we will analyze the following parameters: the AMH, Antral Follicular Count (AFC), day 2-4 FSH levels, the stimulation cycle in regards to number of stimulation days and amount of gonadotropins used for stimulation, number of oocytes retrieved and number of mature oocytes, quality and embryo's ploidy, number of available euploid embryos and the clinical pregnancy rate after frozen embryo transfer.

Despite the use of various treatment strategies, poor response to ovarian stimulation remains a major clinical challenge with lower chance to obtain sufficient number of oocytes and thus less likely to conceive with high risk of cycle cancellation. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of recombinant human GH administration to gonadotropins on clinical and laboratory ICSI outcomes in expected poor responders more and less than 35 years (Poseidon group 4 and 3 respectively).

Randomized trial comparing the efficacy of two different times of administration of cabergoline in patients undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation and oocyte collection.

The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of Homoeopathic treatment in female infertility.
