What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the effectiveness of autologous platelet rich plasma (PRP) intra ovarian infusion in enhancing ovarian tissue functionality and hormonal profiles in perimenopausal women. The study employs a triple-blind randomized controlled trial design, comparing the effects of PRP with a placebo treatment of autologous platelet free plasma (PFP). PRP, enriched with growth factors, is hypothesized to stimulate tissue proliferation and promote folliculogenesis. The trial aims to provide insights into the potential benefits of PRP for women experiencing infertility and menstrual cycle abnormalities during perimenopause.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could improve ovarian function and hormonal balance in perimenopausal women, potentially enhancing fertility.

How similar studies have gone: While PRP has shown promise in other medical fields, its application for ovarian rejuvenation is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested.
