Acupuncture doubles chance of having a baby with IVF, study suggests
Acupuncture could dramatically boost the chances of IVF treatment working, a study suggests.
A British study found that rates of success were twice as high among those having the alternative therapy. Fertility experts said the findings were interesting and statistically significant.
However, they warned that it was unclear whether the apparent benefit stemmed from the traditional Chinese practice - or from a placebo effect, because the women became more relaxed after time was invested in them.
