Pentoxifylline and CoQ10 for Sperm Motility
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests if adding pentoxifylline to CoQ10 (a natural supplement) works better than CoQ10 alone to improve sperm movement in men with low sperm motility. If you have been trying to conceive and your semen analysis shows low motility, this study may help.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are a man between 20 and 50 years old.
