Study summary

This study aims to evaluate the superiority of an integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine regimen ("Xiehe DOR Bushen Tongzhi Formula" + ovulation induction therapy with ovulation monitoring and timed intercourse) compared to standard treatment alone (placebo + ovulation induction therapy with ovulation monitoring and timed intercourse) in improving the natural cumulative clinical pregnancy rate in infertile patients with kidney deficiency-type diminished ovarian reserve (DOR).
