First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
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 received either real acupuncture at a specific point or a sham version. The main goal was to see if the baby had turned by 35 weeks using ultrasound.
