Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for low sperm count infertility
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests whether breathing 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) can improve fertility in men who have an unexplained low sperm count. It may help by improving sperm health, but you would need multiple sperm tests and to be able to follow the clinic schedule.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be a man age 21 or older
- Have at least two semen tests showing low sperm count (less than 15 million sperm per mL)
- Have “idiopathic” oligospermia, meaning no clear known cause for the low sperm count
- Be able and willing to read, understand, and sign consent
- Be able to come to all scheduled visits and follow the study plan

This trial tests if a supplement made from Tribulus Terrestris (a plant) can help men with low sperm count (oligospermia) improve their fertility. It may be an option for men who are considering hormone treatments.
This study tests two medicines—isotretinoin and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)—to see if they can improve sperm production in men with low sperm counts or no sperm due to certain causes. It might help if you haven't responded to other treatments before.
This study aims to find genetic causes of certain types of infertility in men and women. If you have been diagnosed with very low sperm count, no sperm, or early ovarian failure, researchers will look at your DNA to discover new genes that might be responsible.
This trial tests whether taking probiotics can improve sperm quality in men with unexplained infertility. It may help if you have low sperm count, low motility, or abnormal shape.
This study tests a new drug called STSP-0902 to see if it is safe in healthy men. It may help men with low sperm count or poor sperm movement, but the main goal is to check for side effects.
This study explores how traditional medicine may help treat a specific type of male infertility where sperm count is low, movement is poor, and shape is abnormal. Researchers will evaluate whether traditional medicine approaches can improve these sperm problems.
