Decision Aid for Elective Egg Freezing
ClinicalTrials.gov Studies
Summary
A clinical trial has been registered on ClinicalTrials.gov to evaluate whether a culturally tailored decision aid improves decision-making for Taiwanese women considering elective egg freezing. The trial will compare women who receive the decision aid against those receiving standard counseling, assessing differences in knowledge, decision regret, and psychological distress. Clinical outcomes including oocyte retrieval and freezing rates will also be measured.
“The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether a culturally tailored decision aid can improve decision-making and clinical outcomes for Taiwanese women considering elective egg freezing.”
What changed
A new clinical trial evaluating a decision aid for elective egg freezing has been registered on ClinicalTrials.gov. The trial plans to enroll women in Taiwan and randomize them to receive either a culturally tailored decision aid or standard counseling, with follow-up measuring knowledge, decision regret, psychological distress, and clinical outcomes including oocyte retrieval and freezing rates.
Healthcare providers and clinical investigators offering fertility services, particularly those serving East Asian or Taiwanese populations, should be aware of this trial. While it does not create compliance obligations, the results may inform future shared decision-making practices and patient counseling standards for elective egg freezing if the decision aid demonstrates improved outcomes.

Decision Aid for Elective Egg Freezing
N/A NCT07543445 Kind: NA Apr 21, 2026
Abstract
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether a culturally tailored decision aid can improve decision-making and clinical outcomes for Taiwanese women considering elective egg freezing.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does the decision aid improve women's knowledge about elective egg freezing and help clarify their personal values? Does the decision aid reduce decision regret and psychological distress after making a decision about egg freezing?
Researchers will compare women who use the decision aid with those who receive standard counseling to see if the tool improves knowledge, reduces distress and regret, and leads to better clinical outcomes (such as completing egg freezing or achieving a higher number of frozen oocytes).
Participants will:
- Complete questionnaires assessing their baseline knowledge, attitudes, and values regarding egg freezing
- Receive either the decision aid or standard counseling
- Complete follow-up questionnaires to assess knowledge, distress, and decision regret
- Have their clinical outcomes recorded, including whether they undergo egg freezing and the number of oocytes retrieved and frozen
Conditions: Elective Egg Freezing, Oocyte Cryopreservation, Decision Aid, Egg Freezing, Shared Decision Making, Assisted Reproductive Technology, Fertility Preservation
