Filter by:this study is designed to compare the Progesterone primed ovarian stimulation protocol versus the antagonist protocol as a method to stimulate PCO patients in ICSI cycles to decrease cost and decrease OHSS.
In vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles are increasingly performed worldwide. Transvaginal oocyte pick-up (OPU) is a painful part of IVF. OPU in polyfollicular IVF is usually performed under sedation and pain relief. In natural cycle IVF or IVF with minimal stimulation OPU is possible without anesthesia. Mostly of the women reported experiencing mild to moderate pain when undergoing OPU without anesthesia. Nevertheless, there is a need for alternative pain treatment options during OPU to reduce the burden of IVF for patients. Virtual reality (VR) may have a role in acutely painful procedures as a non-pharmacological alternative. VR refers to the interactions between an individual and a computer-generated environment stimulating multiple sensory modalities. The immersive, entertaining effects of VR could be useful for redirecting the patient's attention away from painful treatment experiences and reducing anxiety, discomfort, or unpleasantness. Use of VR interventions has been studies in a wider range of medical treatment.
The goal of this comparative effectiveness study is to compare IV dislodgement frequency in medical-surgical patients with continuous IV fluids infusing. The main question it aims to answer are: 1. To determine if the addition of the break-away IV device within IV tubing and customary IV dressing reduces dislodgment when compared to customary IV dressing alone.
Despite current anxiety and pain management during oocyte retrieval in IVF/ICSI treatment by conscious sedation, oocyte retrieval often remains painful and stressful for patients. An average pain score of 6.0 (expressed using VAS) and stress score of 41.63 (using STAI-S) were reported by previous researches. Previous research showed there might be a negative correlation between anxiety experienced in IVF/ICSI treatment, and ongoing pregnancy rate. Other researches nuance this. In addition, conscious sedation can give a variety of side effects such as apnea and respiratory depression. The appliance of Virtual Reality is increasingly researched, in a variety of procedures. Previous researches showed that Virtual Reality was effective in the reduction of anxiety and pain experienced, also in the field of Gynaecology and Obstetrics. We hypothesized that Virtual Reality can aid in the reduction of anxiety and pain experienced during oocyte retrieval in IVF/ICSI treatment. We also aim to find a definitive answer on the question whether anxiety during IVF/ICSI treatment can negatively influence ongoing pregnancy rates.
The investigators propose a pilot study to determine if autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) improves ovarian reserves and In-vitro fertilisation (IVF) outcomes in women with diminished ovarian reserve / premature ovarian insufficiency.
This randomized double-blinded-controlled clinical trial consists of two protocols as follow: protocol 1: evaluation of the therapeutic effects of Vitamin D3 supplement when given alone and in combination with an ovulation-inducing agent (e.g., Clomiphene citrate or Letrozole) on ovarian functional status and hormonal and metabolic features of PCOS-Vitamin D-deficient infertile Saudi women; and protocol 2: evaluation of the effectiveness of Vitamin D3 supplement versus placebo on the clinical pregnancy rate, fertilization implantation rate, live birth rate, and other outcome parameters following in-vitro fertilization (IVF) application in these PCOS-Vitamin D-deficient infertile patients.
1. To study the effect of uterine wall , intracavitary , cervical as well as cervical canal lesion on the outcome of IVF/ICSI cycle. 2. To establish a score for prediction of IVF/ICSI cycle success .
Although the endometrium has been traditionally considered free of bacteria, recent studies have documented the presence of an endometrial microbiome. The uterine microbiome can be defined as Lactobacillus-dominated (<90% Lactobacillus spp.) or non-Lactobacillus-dominated (<90% Lactobacillus spp. with >10% of other bacteria). The presence of a pathogenic microbiota in endometrium was associated with significant decrease in implantation, pregnancy, ongoing pregnancy and live birth rates. Some of these pathogens microorganisms can also produce infection and inflammation that may lead to chronic endometritis. Nowadays, the endometrial microbiome can be investigated with the EMMA test and the most known pathogens related with chronic endometritis can be detected with the ALICE test,both of them developed by Igenomix group. Our goal in this project is to investigate at what extent, if any, the analysis of the endometrial factor, at a microbiome level, in patients at their first IVF cycle improves their clinical outcome.
Randomized controlled study, open label to compare effectiveness of addition of dydrogesterone 20mg to the standard luteal phase support treatment after fresh embryos transfer.
Premature ovarian failure (POI) is a loss of normal function before age 40, leading to infertility and hypoestrogenism. About 1% of women younger than 40 years old and 0.1% before 30 are affected. Most patients already had impaired or complete loss of fecundity when diagnosed. Hence, the treatment of POI is particularly tough. Currently, no optimal regimen exists to ameliorate ovarian function.
