Ovarian PRP Injection in Women With POR

Effect of Ovarian Injection of Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma on the Pregnancy Outcome of IVF/ICSI in Patients With Poor Ovarian Response: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Study

Patients with poor ovarian response (POR）is considered one of most challenging tasks in artificial reproductive treatment (ART). Several retrospective studies have shown that platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is one of the proposed therapeutic strategies for women with POR. However, prospective randomized controlled trials are still lacking. This study aimed to evaluate the effect on intraovarian injection of autologous PRP in poor ovarian reserve prospectively.

It will be divided two groups of POR patients according to the treatment itself. One group was treated by intraovarian injection of autologous PRP, and the other was control. It will detect the function of ovarian reserve and IVF outcomes before and after treatment in both two groups. In addition, granulosa cells and follicular fluid before and after injection were collected for functional exploration experiments.
