Clinical trial comparing the effects of diet based on traditional medicine and usual diet on the results of in vitro fertilization for infertile women

The number of ovum, mature ovum number, embryos number, embryo quality and fertilization rate were significantly higher in the intervention group than control group (for all items; P<0.05). Overall pregnancy rate was significantly higher in the intervention group (35.2% vs. 12.4%; odds ratio [OR], 3.8; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.8-8.3). The intervention group had higher rate of getting spontaneous pregnancy than the control group (20.9% vs. 2.2%; odds ratio [OR], 11.5; 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.6-50.9). Chemical pregnancy was significantly higher in the intervention group (64% vs. 27.5%; odds ratio [OR], 4.7; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.9-11.6).
