Infertility was reported in approximately 15% of all heterozygous couples, with male factor accounting for nearly half the cases. This typically occurs due to low sperm production, sperm dysfunction, and sperm delivery obstruction. Etiology of male infertility can be attributed to many factors including acute or chronic illness, accidents, and lifestyle choices.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase

Phase 3

Detailed Description

This study demonstrated that using a painless, convenient at-home device could significantly improve sperm motility and count. This device can be utilized to tackle (for unexplained infertility) the significant issue of infertility in a cost-effective, safe and efficacious.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Active Comparator: Testes shocker

This device is working and giving the electrical shocks regularly.

Device: Testes shocker
It is a device that give electric shocks (up to 5 milli Amperes) and it is designed to contain both the testes within it.

Placebo Comparator: Fake Testes shocker

This device is not giving electricity but it is working with a red light, so the participants cannot suspect it.

Device: Testes shocker
It is a device that give electric shocks (up to 5 milli Amperes) and it is designed to contain both the testes within it.
