ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate whether acupuncture improves
rates of pregnancy and live birthwhen used as an adjuvant
treatment to embryo transfer inwomen undergoing in vitro
fertilisation.
Design Systematic review and meta-analysis.
Data sources Medline, Cochrane Central, Embase,
Chinese Biomedical Database, hand searched abstracts,
and reference lists.
Review methods Eligible studies were randomised
controlled trials that compared needle acupuncture
administered within one day of embryo transfer with sham
acupuncture or no adjuvant treatment, with reported
outcomes of at least one of clinical pregnancy, ongoing
pregnancy, or live birth. Two reviewers independently
agreed on eligibility; assessed methodological quality;
and extracted outcome data. For all trials, investigators
contributed additional data not included in the original
publication (such as live births). Meta-analyses included
all randomised patients.
Data synthesis Seven trials with 1366 women undergoing
in vitro fertilisation were included in the meta-analyses.
There was little clinical heterogeneity. Trials with sham
acupuncture and no adjuvant treatment as controls were
pooled for the primary analysis. Complementing the
embryo transfer process with acupuncturewas associated
with significant and clinically relevant improvements in
clinical pregnancy (odds ratio 1.65, 95% confidence
interval 1.27 to 2.14; number needed to treat (NNT) 10 (7
to 17); seven trials), ongoing pregnancy (1.87, 1.40 to
2.49; NNT 9 (6 to 15); five trials), and live birth (1.91, 1.39
to 2.64; NNT 9 (6 to 17); four trials). Because we were
unable to obtain outcome data on live births for three of
the included trials, the pooled odds ratio for clinical
pregnancy more accurately represents the true combined
effect from these trials rather than the odds ratio for live
birth. The results were robust to sensitivity analyses on
study validity variables. A prespecified subgroup analysis
restricted to the three trials with the higher rates of clinical
pregnancy in the control group, however, suggested a
smaller non-significant benefit of acupuncture
Conclusions Current preliminary evidence suggests that
acupuncture given with embryo transfer improves rates of
pregnancy and live birth among women undergoing in
vitro fertilisation.
