COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Dr. Paul C. Magarelli, a

nationally noted specialist in the field of reproductive endocrinology and

infertility, and Dr. Diane K. Cridennda, a recognized authority on

acupuncture and Traditional , have announced early results

of an ongoing study linking acupuncture to positive in-vitro fertilization

(IVF) outcomes. The study, which includes the largest-ever participant pool

for a study of its kind, explores the increase in take home baby rates

associated with combined Eastern and Western medicine treatments.

 

Drs. Magarelli and Cridennda's ongoing research shows an astonishing 15

percent increase in pregnancies, with a 23 percent climb in actual births in

IVF patients treated with acupuncture. In addition, of the 578 patients

Magarelli has co-treated at the Reproductive Medicine & Fertility Centers

and East Winds Acupuncture from 2003 to 2008, 26 percent more patients

became pregnant with acupuncture treatments added to IVF, saving them the

costs and heartache of having to repeat an IVF cycle. This savings would

decrease the national IVF fertility costs by more than $150,000,000 per year

in the United States alone.

 

" Infertility is a condition that affects more than 7.3 million people

nationwide, and many of those couples are unaware of the potential that

acupuncture holds for them, " said Dr. Magarelli. " Our study demonstrates

that acupuncture increases uterine blood flow, reduces stress and has an

overall positive impact on our IVF patients. And the results really speak

for themselves: one of every four of our patients who have used acupuncture

in conjunction with IVF has not had to repeat an IVF cycle to create their

families. "

 

A three-part exploration of Drs. Magarelli and Cridennda's ongoing

breakthrough acupuncture and IVF study will be published in Fertility Today

magazine later this year.
