Active clinical trials for "Infertility, Female"

Investigators expected to verify this hypothesis through this study:acupuncture and moxibustion combined with LE induced ovulation in Chinese anovulatory PCOS women has a higher rate of live birth than LE induced ovulation alone.

This study intends to carry out a prospective, randomized controlled trial to compare the trans-umbilical laparoendoscopic single-site surgery by 3D laparoscopy with normal laparoendoscopic surgery in the treatment of infertility patient, so as to further clarify the safety and curative effect of TU-LESS by 3D laparoscopy and provide evidence-based basis for its application in infertility population.

the investigators want to study whether 12 weeks of acupuncture has any effect on AMH and the ovarian reserve in women with low ovarian reserve (low responders). AMH is measured before and after 12 weeks of acupuncture and the clinical response to controlled ovarian hyperstimulation before and after the acupuncture is compared.

This study aims to record Efficacy, Safety and tolerability of Gonapure® prescribed for female subjects with infertility Undergoing IVF/ICSI

Approximately 10% of all couples will be diagnosed as infertile. The most efficient infertility treatment is In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF). One major determinant for success is production of an adequate number of oocytes (eggs) from the female in order to finally have good-quality embryos and finally acceptable pregnancy and delivery rates. Some women will not respond adequately to hormonal stimulation and will only a small number of oocytes. Therefore, the chances of finally having a successful delivery are significantly reduced. Although the specific definition of this situation is controversial, these patients are diagnosed as having "low ovarian response". This condition is more prevalent in older IVF patients as part of the reproductive aging process; it is possible at any age. Currently, the understanding of "low ovarian response" is limited, and although many therapeutic approaches have been suggested, no treatment has been proven significantly efficient. DHEA is a pro-hormone produced by the adrenal gland and the ovary. DHEA serum levels become lower with age and in some chronic diseases. Therefore, some believe it may be beneficial as an 'anti-aging' factor. DHEA pills are available as a food-supplement, without need for prescription in the US. DHEA is involved in the regulation of follicular growth in the ovaries. In a 2000 report, five IVF patients who had low ovarian response were treated with oral DHEA (Casson et al, Hum Reprod 2000;15:2129). A small increase in the ovarian response to hormonal stimulation was noticed. Barad and Gleicher reported their relatively extensive experience, summarizing treatment outcome in 25 IVF low-responders treated with oral DHEA pills (Barad and Gleicher, Hum Reprod 2006; 21, 2845). They observed increased increases in fertilized oocytes, normal day 3 embryos, and number of embryos transferred after DHEA treatment compared with a previous treatment outcome before DHEA. Based on this observation, DHEA may appear useful for improving IVF outcome in some patients. However, a prospective randomized study on DHEA supplementation for IVF patients was not yet published. Our aim is to conduct such a study, focusing on IVF patient with low ovarian response.

Acupuncture is one of the traditional Chinese practices widely used in China for more than 3000 years. In recent years, the use of acupuncture within infertility has gained popularity all over the world, but there is no research describing the use of acupuncture in infertility of incompletely obstructive fallopian tube. In this paper, we present a research design evaluating the effects of acupuncture on incomplete fallopian tube obstructive infertility. This is a randomized, control acupuncture and signal-blind trial. A total of 120 patients will be enrolled in this study and will be randomized into two groups. True acupuncture plus hydrotubation or control acupuncture plus hydrotubation will be performed for 12 weeks. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the additional value of acupuncture on the tubal patency rate and pregnancy rate beyond Hydrotubation ,therefore to guide clinical.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether edometrial local injury improves the outcome of embryo transfer,and to find out more evidence about the time of trauma,the way of intervention,and the possible mechanism.

Poor ovarian response (POR) is one of the major therapeutic challenges in in vitro fertilization. Several therapeutic approaches for POR have been explored; yet, a single effective strategy has not yet been established. Recently, a live birth was reported after ovarian cortex fragmentation and in vitro disruption of the Hippo signaling pathway and activation of Akt signaling. During IVM procedure increased mechanical stimulation of the ovarian cortex takes place. , with the consequent disruption of the Hippo signaling pathway. Our aim is to investigate whether the mechanical manipulation and triggering of ovarian cortex caused by IVM can cause ovarian follicular activation and recruitment by the mechanisms mentioned above. Thus stimulation in the following regular IVF cycle will result in improved ovarian response and increased oocytes yield

Coadministration of various drugs used for ovarian stimulation can increase the efficiency of IVF especially in poor responders. The investigators hypothesize that ovarian response of those patients could improve by using combination of clomiphene citrate with gonadotropins in infertile women with poor response to gonadotrophin administration only.

The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to determine whether granulocyte colony-stimulating factor and platelet-rich plasma can be used to enhance the IVF-ET outcomes in patients with recurrent implantation failure
