Research on Acupuncture & Fertility and IVF Outcomes

Research suggests acupuncture can play a supportive role in fertility and IVF outcomes:
  • A well-known study published in Fertility and Sterility (Paulus et al.) found that acupuncture performed before and after embryo transfer significantly increased pregnancy rates in IVF patients:
