Summary
This study tested whether acupuncture-moxibustion, a gentle, non-invasive technique, can help turn a breech baby (feet-first position) before birth. 328 pregnant women with a single baby in breech position received either real or fake acupuncture. The goal was to see if the treatment could increase the chance of the baby turning head-down by 37 weeks, potentially reducing the need for C-sections.
