Abstract
Background During the past years acupuncture has been increasingly used to assist in vitro fertilization (ivF). Objective To test whether success rates of acupuncture for ivF could be raised employing a semi-standardised acupuncture regimen with special emphasis on acupuncture point Ex-R8. Method During III/99 and III/06 261 female patients were treated with acupunctur directly before and after embryo transfer. Result 93 of 261 patients became pregnant (rise of β-HCG in the second week after transfer in 35,6 %). Discussion The success rate is especially impressive because the patients treated in my clinic had undergone at least one non successful ivF before. Conclusion There is no doubt that acupuncture is able to raise the success rate of ivF. I advise the scientific community to test my therapeutic regimen, especially including the utilisation of acupuncture point Ex-R 8.
