Key points from recent studies:

- One randomized, prospective, controlled clinical study showed that the pregnancy rates can more than double (15.6% to 33.6%) for IVF/ICSI treatment when acupuncture was given.
- Another randomized, prospective, controlled clinical study showed that miscarriage rates can decrease (15.4% to 11.8%) for IVF/ICSI treatment when acupuncture was given.
- A third randomized, prospective, controlled clinical study showed that implantation rates can almost triple (5.9% to 14.2%) for IVF/ICSI treatment when acupuncture was given.
- Using doppler ultrasonography, it was shown that acupuncture can lower arterial uterine blood flow impedance, a key to optimal endometrial receptivity.
- Clinical and experimental evidence shows that acupuncture has long-lasting benefits for women who suffer from polycystic ovaries syndrome (PCOS) and anovulation.
- Acupuncture can benefit men who have abnormal sperm.
