  • Protocol summary

    This study is a clinical trial to investigate the effect of Alpinia officinarum Hance on spermogram factors. The target population consists of eligible patients referred to The Fatima Al-zahra Infertility Center of Babol University of Medical Sciences diagnosed with impaired spermatogenesis (Oligospermic, Teratospermic and Asthenospermic) .This study will be conducted in two groups in parallel for three months. The number of participants, 30, was considered enough according to the relevant literature. All the participants will be checked by an urologist so that they meet the criteria for impaired spermatogenesis (Oligospermia, Teratospermic and Asthenospermic); simple consecutive sampling was used and the participants gave their full consent. The scope pf this unilateral blind study will be limited to The Fatima Al-zahra Infertility Center. Before administration of drugs, a semen Analysis will be in order and the drugs will be coded as A and B. In the intervention group, 3 grams of Alpinia officinarum Hance powderin was administered in 1-gram capsules per day. The control group will receive placebo capsules (sucrose). At the end, the results of a second semen analysis (post-test) will be compared to the innital ones in terms of seminal volume, sperm count, motility and morphology.

    این مطالعه، یک مطالعه کارآزمایی بالینی با هدف بررسی اثر خولنجان بر فاکتورهای اسپرموگرام می باشد. جامعه هدف این مطالعه، بیماران واجد شرایط مراجعه کننده به مرکز ناباروری فاطمه الزهرا (س) دانشگاه علوم پزشکی بابل با تشخیص اختلال در اسپرماتوژنز می باشد. این مطالعه در دو گروه به صورت موازی و به مدت سه ماه انجام می شود. بر اساس سایر مطالعات مشابه ، تعداد حجم نمونه در هر گروه، 30 نفر تعیین شده است. با تایید متخصص ارولوژی ، بیماران با اختلال در اسپرماتوژنز( اولیگواسپرمی، تراتواسپرمی واستنواسپرمی ) که معیارهای ورود را داشته باشند با نمونه گیری آسان پیاپی و با رضایت کامل وارد این مطالعه می شوند. این مطالعه تنها در مرکز ناباروری فاطمه الزهرا (س) دانشگاه علوم پزشکی بابل و به صورت یک سویه کور انجام می شود . قبل از تجویز دارو، Semen Analysis اخذ خواهد شد. دارو های کدبندی شده نیز به کد A و B نامگذاری می‏شوند. در گروه مداخله پودر خولنجان در کپسولهای یک گرمی بسته بندی شده و به بیماران به مدت سه ماه ( با دوز روزانه سه گرم ) داده می شود . گروه کنترل هم به مدت سه ماه از کپسول حاوی دارونما (ساکاروز ) استفاده می کنند . در پایان سه ماه مجددا تست اسپرموگرام از بیماران گرفته می شود . نتایج آن با آزمایش اولیه بیماران از لحاظ حجم سیمن ، تعداد اسپرم ، حرکت و مورفولوژی آن مقایسه خواهد شد .

Protocol summary

Study aim
This study is a clinical trial to investigate the effect of Alpinia officinarum Hance on spermogram factors.
Design
The target population consists of eligible patients referred to The Fatima Al-zahra Infertility Center of Babol University of Medical Sciences diagnosed with impaired spermatogenesis (Oligospermic, Teratospermic and Asthenospermic) .This study will be conducted in two groups in parallel for three months. The number of participants, 30, was considered enough according to the relevant literature. All the participants will be checked by an urologist so that they meet the criteria for impaired spermatogenesis (Oligospermia, Teratospermic and Asthenospermic); simple consecutive sampling was used and the participants gave their full consent.
Settings and conduct
The scope pf this Double-blind study will be limited to The Fatima Al-zahra Infertility Center. Before administration of drugs, a semen Analysis will be in order and the drugs will be coded as A and B. In the intervention group, 3 grams of Alpinia officinarum Hance powderin was administered in 1-gram capsules per day. The control group will receive placebo capsules (sucrose). At the end, the results of a second semen analysis (post-test) will be compared to the innital ones in terms of seminal volume, sperm count, motility and morphology.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria : idiopathic oligospermia disorder; idiopathic Teratospermic disorder; idiopathic Asthenospermia disorder. Exclusion criteria:azoospermia; Pretesticular disorder such as endocrine disorders (hyperprolactinemia, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, ...); Chromosomal disorders such as Klinefelter, men XX, XYY; known Testicular dysfunction such as varicocele or orchitis or Cryptorchidism; Post testicular dysfunction such as the mechanical obstruction, impaired embryo transfer or functional obstruction, vasectomy and; A history of treatment for infertility in the past three month; Medication history affecting semen; History of anti-metabolite drugs ;Diabetics patients; Hypo-and hyperthyroidism patients; History of chemotherapy; A history of cerebrovascular diseases ; A history of exposure to radiation or radioactive radiation
Intervention groups
In the intervention group, 3 grams of Alpinia officinarum Hance powder will administer in 1-gram capsules per day For three months. Control group will receive placebo capsules (sucrose).
Main outcome variables
Spermogram factors including sperm volume؛ sperm count؛sperm morphology; sperm motility
