Summary
This study tested whether using small thumbtack-shaped needles (a type of acupuncture) can improve ovarian function in women with diminished ovarian reserve (low egg supply). 240 women aged 18-40 received either the needle treatment or a sham (fake) version. Researchers measured changes in hormone levels and egg count to see if the needles help control the condition.
