摘要
Objective: To determine the effect of luteal-phase acupuncture on the outcome of IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Design: Randomized, prospective, controlled clinical study. Setting: University IVF center. Patient(s): Two hundred twenty-five infertile patients undergoing IVF/ICSI. Intervention(s): In group 1, 116 patients received luteal-phase acupuncture according to the principles of traditional Chinese medicine. In group 11, 109 patients received placebo acupuncture. Main Outcome Measure(s): Clinical and ongoing pregnancy rates. Result(s): in group 1, the clinical pregnancy rate and ongoing pregnancy rate (33.6% and 28.4%, respectively) were significantly higher than in group 11 (15.6% and 13.8%). Conclusion(s): Luteal-phase acupuncture has a positive effect on the outcome of IVF/ICSI.
