“Compared with continuous oral estrogen and traditional hormone replacement therapies, acupuncture and moxibustion demonstrated superior improvements in clinical pregnancy rates, live birth rates, endometrial thickness, endometrial morphology, and serum estradiol levels.”
In a systematic review and meta-analysis of 13 randomized controlled trials (n = 775) evaluating acupuncture for diminished ovarian reserve:
“Acupuncture demonstrated significant efficacy in reducing follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) [SMD = 0.83, 95% CI (0.27–1.39), p = 0.004], increasing estradiol (E2) [SMD = 0.50, 95% CI (0.07–0.93), p = 0.02], and improving anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels [SMD = 0.24, 95% CI (0.05–0.44), p = 0.01].”
Critically, acupuncture is increasingly concep...
