Results of a New Study on Acupuncture and IVF. Until recently, women have had no proven method to improve their odds with each IVF attempt.New hope has been provided by the encouraging results of a well-designed, German study on acupuncture-assisted in vitro fertility.
The 160 participants were divided into two groups, each receiving a standard in-vitro procedure (IVF). One of the groups, however, received acupuncture before and after implantation. The standard in-vitro group had a 26.3% pregnancy rate, while the acupuncture group showed a 42.5% success rate.
