Description
Flavia Costanzi and eight colleagues tested whether platelet-rich plasma, made from a woman's own blood, helps embryos implant after repeated failures. All women in the study had a normal womb lining width, so low width could not explain their losses. Two hundred thirty women took part at one centre from late 2023, with 110 choosing the plasma wash and 120 serving as controls.
Pregnancy rates were far higher in the plasma group, and the gap held after the team adjusted for other factors. Live birth rates were higher too. Since women chose their own group rather than being assigned by chance, bias may remain. The authors call for firmer trials to confirm the benefit.
