Abstract<\/h3>\n

OBJECTIVE:<\/h4>\n

To evaluate the effect of acupuncture on the pregnancy rate in assisted reproduction therapy (ART) by comparing a group of patients receiving acupuncture treatment shortly before and after embryo transfer with a control group receiving no acupuncture.<\/p>\n

DESIGN:<\/h4>\n

Prospective randomized study.<\/p>\n

SETTING:<\/h4>\n

Fertility center.<\/p>\n

PATIENT(S):<\/h4>\n

After giving informed consent, 160 patients who were undergoing ART and who had good quality embryos were divided into the following two groups through random selection: embryo transfer with acupuncture (n = 80) and embryo transfer without acupuncture (n = 80).<\/p>\n

INTERVENTION(S):<\/h4>\n

Acupuncture was performed in 80 patients 25 minutes before and after embryo transfer. In the control group, embryos were transferred without any supportive therapy.<\/p>\n

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S):<\/h4>\n

Clinical pregnancy was defined as the presence of a fetal sac during an ultrasound examination 6 weeks after embryo transfer.<\/p>\n

RESULT(S):<\/h4>\n

Clinical pregnancies were documented in 34 of 80 patients (42.5%) in the acupuncture group, whereas pregnancy rate was only 26.3% (21 out of 80 patients) in the control group.<\/p>\n

CONCLUSION(S):<\/h4>\n

Acupuncture seems to be a useful tool for improving pregnancy rate after ART.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
