Ovarian puncture technique for women with low egg supply
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a new technique called multi-site cortical puncture (a gentle procedure on the ovary) for women with low egg supply (diminished ovarian reserve) who are doing IVF. The aim is to see if this approach can improve the number of eggs retrieved in two cycles done a few months apart.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 45 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), which means low egg supply. This is confirmed by an AMH blood test of 0.5 ng/mL or lower and an ultrasound showing 5 or fewer antral follicles in both ovaries.
- You are planning to have IVF or ICSI treatment.
- You plan to freeze all embryos and have another egg retrieval cycle within about 4 months after the first one.
- You are not using certain fertility drugs that are not allowed, and you have not had ovarian surgery or certain gynecological conditions like endometriosis or large ovarian cysts.

This study tests a special type of acupuncture (electro-thumbtack needle) to see if it can improve the chances of having a baby for women with reduced ovarian reserve. If you qualify, you may receive this treatment while trying to conceive.
This study tests a new way to give a fertility hormone (FSH) in pulses through a small tube to see if it helps women with obesity or low egg reserve have better egg development with fewer health risks. It may improve fertility treatment outcomes for these women.
This trial tests a new treatment using your own fat cells to improve ovarian function in women with low egg reserve. It aims to see if this can help with fertility.
This trial studies whether a “mechanical stimulation” procedure can help small egg-making structures in the ovary start to work again in people with primary ovarian insufficiency. If the procedure shows signs of response, you may then move on to further fertility treatment, including IVF.
This trial compares two hormone injection protocols to help women with low egg supply grow eggs and collect eggs for IVF. If you qualify, your embryos will be frozen first (“freeze-all”) and then transferred later as one frozen blastocyst.
This study tests a special injection of growth factors from your own blood into the ovary to see if it can improve egg quality and quantity for women with low ovarian reserve. It may be an option if you have been trying to conceive for over a year and have low egg reserve.
