Guest guest Posted December 24, 2008 Report Posted December 24, 2008 Hello, A few months back (it seems) I remember reading some interesting press about a study showing that IUI wasn't all that effective in dealing with infertility. Does anyone have a link to that research? I have a patient that I would like share that information with. Many thanks in advance. David Toone, L.Ac.

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2008 Report Posted December 25, 2008 The research you mention was on IVF. The press was that acupuncture wasn't that helpful - but it's not what the study said. The study actually concluded that " sham " acupuncture is not a proper control, since you see an effect with surface stimulation as well as needle penetration. The overall live birth rates are not different between sham and " real " acupucnture, and both are higher than without. Hope this helps.
