The clinical pregnancy rate in the acupuncture group was significantly higher than that in the control and sham groups (35.7% vs 7.1% vs 10.7%; p=0.0169).

Acupuncture treated group-35.7%  of pregnancy rate.
Controlled group- 7.1%of pregnancy rate.
Sham acupuncture( not using acupoints, insert needle randomly)-10.7%

CONCLUSIONS:

In this study, acupuncture and moxibustion increased pregnancy rates when used as an adjuvant treatment in women undergoing IVF, when embryo implantation had failed
