Acupuncture Improves IVF Results as reported in October 2004 at a meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine.  The research confirmed that acupuncture increases the success rate for patients receiving IVF treatment. The much talked about German study, reported that when adding acupuncture, 34 women in the acupuncture plus IVF group become pregnant.  In the group NOT receiving acupuncture only 21 women became pregnant using IVF alone.
