P02.15. Acupuncture improves in vitro fertilization live birth outcomes: a retrospective chart review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methods From 2008–2009, patients at a private infertility clinic in Kirkland, WA could elect onsite adjuvant acupuncture on the day of ET. Of 464 patients who received ET, 188 elected acupuncture (Acu) and 276 did not (No Acu). The Acu group received two standardized acupuncture treatments. Prior to ET, the following points were needled: GV20, PC6, ST29, SP8, LV3 and R6 with Shenmen and Brain on the left ear and Uterus and Endocrine on the right ear. Post ET, the same points on opposite ears and LI4, SP10, ST36, and SP6 were needled. Live birth outcomes were analyzed using logistic regression with age and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) as covariates. Differences across categories of maternal age were evaluated with crude risk ratios.
