First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether adding fire-needle acupuncture to regular acupuncture improves pregnancy rates in women who have had multiple failed embryo transfers. 100 women were split into three groups: no acupuncture, regular acupuncture, or a combination of fire-needle and regular acupuncture. Researchers measured pregnancy rates and miscarriages to see if the combined approach made a difference.
