Summary

Rationale for conducting the experiment: Israel performed IVF treatments since 1980.

Although ART (Advanced Reproductive Treatments) have evolved over the years implantation and pregnancy rates have not met the expectations yet. Success rates of fertility treatments are about 15-18% (clinical pregnancy rates =CPR). As a result additional methods (clinical, technological and complimentary) have been tried to improve the CPR.

In some reviews the effects of acupuncture practice during fertility treatments showed certain benefits, including pain relief and relaxation. Unfortunately those trials were not randomized and lacked methodological rigor.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of acupuncture on pain, anxiety, and CPR of women undergoing IVF as compared to standard care alone.
