Study aim
-
Investigating sperm parameters, DNA integrity, embryo cytokinetic and pregnancy rate obtained from sperms selected by cumulus column compared to the control group in infertile couples with male factor
-
Design
-
Clinical trial with a control group, with parallel groups, double-blind, randomized, phase 3 on 100 patients. Statistical software will be used for randomization.
-
Settings and conduct
-
The study will be conducted at the Research Institute of Reproductive Sciences in Yazd. In this study, the patient, embryologist and gynecologist will be considered blind.
-
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
-
Inclusion criteria: infertile couples with male cause candidates for ICSI, reproductively healthy women with at least 6 Mɪɪ eggs and age less than 38 years
Exclusion criteria: infertile patients with severe male factor, frozen sperm samples, tissue samples, female age over 38 years.
-
Intervention groups
-
In the control group of sperm samples after preparation by density gradient method, sperm selection is done only by density gradient and in the study group, sperm selection in addition to density gradient will be done by passing through the cumulus column, and then for ICSI are used.
-
Main outcome variables
-
Application of non-invasive techniques to improve the results of ART treatment cycles for male factor infertile patients
