Active clinical trials for "Infertility"

Evaluation of the effect of adding a single dose of gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) as a luteal phase support on the outcomes of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) following GnRH antagonist protocol

This clinical validation study is being carried out to validate the efficacy of a test measuring the clinical application of prostaglandins present in the endometrial fluid in patients, 24 hours before the embryonic transfer. This test is capable of predicting endometrial receptivity without the need of performing a biopsy.

RATIONALE: Participating in a therapy program may enhance communication and intimacy between men with prostate cancer and their partners. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying how well therapy enhances communication and intimacy for men with early stage prostate cancer and for their partners.

Our findings will provide preliminary clinical evidence to suggest the new experimental treatment approaches, toward female factor infertility treatment with pentoxyfylline.

This study was planned to determine the effect of sexual counseling given to primary infertile couples in line with the PLISSIT model on sexual function and sexual satisfaction.

The aim of the study to evaluate the possible effect of washing the insemination catheters before intrauterine insemination on the pregnancy outcomes. We know that washing the catheters are already washed in the case of embryo transfer for assisted reproductive techniques. Based on this knowledge, we also constituted the hypothesis which is about the impact of washing the catheter on the gametes and embryos. The pre-washing the catheter before intrauterine insemination may provide higher pregnancy results.

The purpose of this study is to compare the use of warm-media with cold-media in performing hysterosalpingography (HSG).

The purpose of this study is to compare two different strategies to implement the existing Guideline programme on Subfertility, as issued by the Dutch Society of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (NVOG). Therefore, an innovative patient-directed strategy will be compared to a control strategy and effectiveness, costs and feasibility of both strategies will be assessed.

Brief Summary: LM001 is a recombinant human Follicle Stimulating Hormone (r-hFSH) Injection, which is proposed for Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). This is a randomized, open-label, two-period, two-crossover study to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of recombinant human follicle stimulating hormone injection (LM001), compared with Gonal-F®, both given subcutaneously.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of GINST on human semen. The study is a pilot study, designed as open-label, prospective randomized clinical trial using GINST either 500mg/capsule (panax ginseng 0.96g/day) or 1000mg/capsule (panax ginseng 1.92g/day), two capsules at once, three times a day for 12 weeks. GINST(Ilhwa, Republic of Korea) is a dietary supplement capsule, which is made with 6 year-old Korean red ginseng (Panax ginseng). Expected participants are to be male partners of female patients who visit infertility clinic at Severance hospital, whose total motile sperm count is more than 0.5x106 by semen analysis using computer aided sperm analyzer (CASA). Semen analysis, blood test, questionaires are planned to be performed 2 times, on the initial visit and after 12weeks of GINST treatment. Semen analysis will reveal ejaculated volume, sperm count, motility, morphology, total leukocyte count, total motile sperm count, further analysis including sperm chromatin assessment to examine the quality of sperm and malondialdehyde (MDA) analysis of seminal fluid to assess oxidative stress will be performed. Blood test will be done including serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), total and free testosterone. Quality of life, sexual performance before and after taking GINST will be evaluated using questionaires.
