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 improving outcomes in fresh embryo transfer-ICSI cycles for women diagnosed with Poor Ovarian Response (POR). The study employs a triple-blind randomized controlled trial design to assess the impact of PRP, which is enriched with growth factors, on patients' hormonal profiles and overall fertility. By comparing the effects of PRP against a placebo, the trial aims to provide insights into the potential benefits of this innovative treatment approach for women facing infertility challenges.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly improve fertility outcomes for women with Poor Ovarian Response.

How similar studies have gone: While the use of PRP has shown promise in other medical fields, its application in ovarian rejuvenation is still being explored, making this approach relatively novel.
