What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the effectiveness of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) intra ovarian infusion in reactivating ovarian functionality and promoting folliculogenesis in menopausal women. The study is a triple-blind randomized controlled trial that aims to evaluate how PRP, enriched with growth factors, can stimulate tissue proliferation and improve hormonal profiles. Participants will receive either PRP or a placebo infusion, and their ovarian function will be monitored over time to assess the treatment's impact. The trial seeks to provide insights into the potential of PRP for ovarian rejuvenation, a concept that has not been fully explored in the context of menopause.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could restore ovarian function and improve fertility options for menopausal women.

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