A Randomized Double-Blinded Placebo-Controlled Trial on the Effect of Dehydroepiandrosterone for 16 Weeks on Ovarian Response Markers in Women with Primary Ovarian Insufficiency

Abstract

This randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial found higher AFC and ovarian volume at wk 12 and 20, respectively, in the DHEA group, although there were no significant changes in serum AMH and FSH levels. Further trials using a longer duration of DHEA should be considered to evaluate the long-term effect of DHEA in women with POI.
