Needles vs. light: can ancient practice flip unborn babies and avoid surgery?

NCT ID NCT01487590

Summary

This study tested whether a gentle, needle-based therapy called acupuncture-moxibustion could help turn breech babies to a head-down position before the final weeks of pregnancy. Researchers compared the real therapy to a fake light treatment in 328 pregnant women to see which was more effective. The goal was to find a comfortable, non-invasive way to correct the baby's position and potentially reduce the need for a cesarean section.
