Melatonin Therapy for Improving ICSI Outcomes in Women With Diminished Ovarian Reserve

Sponsor: Benha University

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is a major challenge in female fertility, often leading to poor oocyte quality and low pregnancy rates during assisted reproduction. Melatonin is a potent antioxidant that may protect developing eggs from oxidative stress. This randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate whether a 4-week course of oral melatonin therapy before egg retrieval can improve the quality of oocytes and embryos, and ultimately increase pregnancy rates for women with DOR undergoing Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI). The study compares melatonin therapy against a placebo to assess its impact on follicular fluid health and clinical pregnancy success.
