Summary
This study tested whether acupuncture can help turn a breech baby (feet or bottom first) into the head-down position before birth. 259 pregnant women with a breech baby at 32-34 weeks took part. One group received real acupuncture at a specific point, while the other got a sham treatment. The researchers then checked the baby's position at 35 weeks using ultrasound.
