Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Variation of stress in infertile patients assessed through the "Stress Symptoms Inventory Lipp in Adults" by detecting presence or absence of stress in pre and post intervention measurements. Variation of body mass index in infertile patients assessed through body weight by detecting at least 10% variationin pre and post intervention measurements.—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Variation of capillary cortisol level in infertile patients assessed using ELISA assay by detecting at least 3 microg/dl in the pre and post intervention measurements. Variation of plasma cortisol level in infertile patients assessed using ELISA assay by detecting at least 350 nMol/L in pre and post intervention measurements. Variation of plasma NPY level in infertile patients assessed using ELISA assay by detecting at least 30 pMol/L in pre and post intervention measurements. Variation of plasma level of the neurotrophic factors BDNF, NGF and BDNF in infertile patients assessed using ELISA assay by detecting at least 10% in pre and post intervention measurements. Adherence to the prescribed diet in infertile patients verified by food diary by detecting at least 80% adherence. Variation of quality of life in infertile patients assessed through the "Psicological General Well Being Inventary" by detecting at least 10 points in pre and post intervention measurements.—
