Clinical Trial Summary

This study investigates the effect of repetitive cycles of a Fasting Mimicking Diet (3x5 days in six months) on sperm quality in men


Clinical Trial Description

This 2-arm, randomized, controlled exploratory clinical trial aims to explore fasting as a novel supportive treatment in male infertility due to reduced sperm quality according to WHO5-criteria. The participants will be randomized in two groups. The intervention group follows a regime of a periodic fasting mimicking diet (3x5 days in six months, every 6-8 weeks, accompanied via a mobile application), whereas the patients on the waiting list continue their normal diet. Spermiograms are taken about every 2 months following the WHO-5 criteria. In addition, qualitative interviews will be conducted including individual and focus group interviews with a subgroup of participants. ;
