Abstract EN
In vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET), a well-developed technology, provides the last possibility or hope for infertile women.
However, the live birth rate per IVF cycle is still not satisfactory.
Acupuncture is a frequently used adjunctive therapy drawing wide attention on improvement of IVF.
Although so many randomized controlled trials have been evaluating the effect of acupuncture on IVF in the past 20 years, the exact efficacy of acupuncture on IVF is still controversy mainly because of no consensus on placebo control and acupuncture scheme.
This paper focused on the general issues in clinical research of acupuncture and IVF and gave some suggestions for future directions.
