Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Autologous PRP intra ovarian infusion may improve ovarian response and women's hormonal profile and may promote folliculogenesis in perimenopausal women.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This triple-blind Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) aims to investigate the effectiveness of autologous PRP intra ovarian infusion on improving ovarian tissue functionality and hormonal profile of perimenopausal women. PRP is blood plasma prepared from fresh whole blood that has been enriched with platelets. It is collected from peripheral veins and contains several growth factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), epidermal growth factor (EGF), platelet derived growth factor (PDGF), transforming growth factor (TGF) and other cytokines all of which stimulate tissue proliferation and growth. PRP has been employed in several medical conditions in Orthopedics, Dermatology, and Ophthalmology for wound healing. It's efficacy in ovarian rejuvenation and reactivation and endometrial regeneration has not been fully elucidated. This study aims to investigate the effect of autologous PRP intra ovarian infusion on improving ovarian tissue functionality in perimenopausal women.
