title: [Discussion on the impact of acupuncture for the pregnancy of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer].
abstract: The impact of acupuncture for the pregnancy of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) is discussed in the paper. Nowadays there are various conclusions about the impact of acupuncture for IVF-ET, and it may result from the differences in research designs. The effect is closely related to the demographic and clinical characteristics of subjects, such as age, the diagnosis of barrenness, blood flow index of uterine spiral arteries, the cycle of IVF, etc. Besides, the efficacy is influenced by treatment based on syndrome differentiation or not, the frequency and course of acupuncture in both the treating group and the control group, etc. If more reasonable design is achieved in the further study based on them, more reliable evidence will be provided for the effect and mechanism of the pregnancy of IVF-EF by acupuncture.
