Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to compare in Oligozoospermia Patient. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Electroacupuncture therapy and standard therapy can affect oligozoospermia. 2. Electroacupuncture therapy and standard therapy can affect semen and spermatozoa plasma SOD levels. Researchers will compare patient with standard therapy with patient with standard therapy with electroacupuncture.
Objective of the study is to compare the efficacy of tamoxifen alone & tamoxifen with antioxidant on semen quality of infertile male with abnormal parameters (sperm count, motility, vitality, morphology) .Infertility is defines as inability to conceive after one year of unprotected and regular intercourse. Infertility is the most important issue in the married couples and is one of the major clinical problem affecting people medically and psychologically .It affects about 5.8 to 44.2 % couples in the developing countries. Male infertility contributes to about 50% of the overall infertility. Antiestrogens are considered as one of the old and most commonly prescribed treatment of idiopathic infertility.Many studies has shown that it improves idiopathic oligozoospermia, count, motility and vitality. Spermatozoa are also prone to oxidative damage. Men who have high reactive oxygen species(ROS) may have lower fertility potential as compared to men with low ROS. High levels of ROS in semen have been correlated with reduced sperm motility and damage to sperm nuclear DNA. High levels of cytokines in the semen is correlated with sperm injury like cell membrane lipid peroxidation in the presence of raised IL-6 .Antioxidents are the most important form of protection for spermatozoa against ROS. So oral antioxidents are commonly prescribed to males with idiopathic abnormal semen parameters and infertility to reduce the oxidative stress and improves infertility. It is a single blinded randomized control trial to be conducted in Sharif Medical and Dental college, Lahore with sampling technique of probability randomized consecutive sampling technique. 110 male patients with idiopathic male infertility and abnormal semen parameters will be recruited . Pre treatment semen analysis and LH, FSH and serum testosterone will be done. 55 patients will be given tamoxifen alone ad 55 patients will be given tamoxifen with antioxidant. Then at the interval of 3 and 6 months after treatment , semen analysis and hormonal profile will be repeated. Pre-treatment and post treatment semen parameters will be compared using paired sample t-test. P-value < 0.05 will be taken as significant.
This study is the first to evaluate the effect of oral supplementation with antioxidants combined with lifestyle modification for severe male factor partner of couples undergoing ICSI.
