Comparing two methods for processing semen quality in infertility treatment

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of a new microfluidic chip technology against the traditional density gradient centrifugation method for processing semen in men attending a fertility clinic. The research aims to determine which method better preserves sperm quality, specifically focusing on DNA fragmentation, sperm count, and motility. Participants will have their semen samples randomly assigned to one of the two processing methods, and various tests will be conducted to assess the outcomes. The goal is to improve IVF success rates by enhancing the quality of sperm used in fertilization.
