First seen Jan 05, 2026 · Last updated May 21, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study tested if a type of acupuncture called moxibustion can safely turn a breech baby (feet-first) before birth. 328 pregnant women with a breech baby received either real or fake acupuncture. The goal was to see if the treatment could help the baby flip head-down, potentially reducing the need for a cesarean section.
