Conclusion

With so many critical tasks were improperly done in these clinical studies, it is surprising that even half of the clinical studies turned out to have pretty impressive results. It perhaps is another way of demonstrating the potentials of acupuncture in the treatment of infertility.

 

Future hopes for clinical study design

It is my sincere hope that future clinical studies would incorporate TCM theories and practices into the design and execution to reveal the true potentials of acupuncture as a complementary therapy to IVF treatment.
