On the popular television series "Sex In The City", two of the characters had trouble getting pregnant and went to go see an acupuncturist. It seems the characters knew something that many people having trouble getting pregnant may not know - acupuncture can improve the outcome of in vitro fertilization.
A controlled random clinical study at the IVF center at the
University of Witten/Herdecke in Germany examined 225 people
undergoing in vitro fertilization. One group of 116 patients
received acupuncture according to the principles of traditional
Chinese medicine. A second group of 109 people received placebo
acupuncture. The treatment group had a significantly higher clinical
pregnancy rate than the placebo group.
Another study, conducted at a fertility clinic in Denmark found that
the pregnancy rate was significantly higher when women received
acupuncture compared to a control group who received no acupuncture.
The researchers concluded that acupuncture improved the outcome of
in vitro fertilization.
