The effects of acupuncture on in vitro fertilization outcomes: a systematic review of the literature and an update to the Cochrane Collaboration reviewDrake, Melissa 10 1900 (has links)
A Thesis submitted to The University of Arizona College of Medicine - Phoenix in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Medicine. / Background
Infertility, or impaired fecundity, affects 11.8% of women between the ages of 15 and 44, which translates to 7.3 million women. The use of assisted reproductive techniques has doubled over the past decade, with 148,055 cycles performed during 2008 resulting in 46,326 live births and the delivery of 61,426 infants. Acupuncture has been used in China to treat numerous and disparate medical conditions for thousands of years. Many anecdotal reports and non-randomized studies have claimed that acupuncture improves fertility, but the number of high-quality randomized controlled clinical trials and cohorts is much thinner.
Objectives
To determine whether the use of acupuncture results in higher pregnancy rates in patients undergoing in vitro fertilization compared with placebo acupuncture or no treatment.
Search strategy
All randomized controlled trials and prospective cohort reports of acupuncture and assisted reproductive technology were obtained through a systematic search of Medline and the MeSH database (1996 to February 2011).
Selection criteria
Prospective, randomized controlled trials comparing acupuncture treatment versus no treatment, placebo acupuncture, sham acupuncture at non-acupoints, and sham acupuncture at non-fertility-related acupoints during IVF treatment with or without intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
Inclusion criteria:
- primary or secondary subfertility
- undergoing IVF with or without ICSI
- timing of acupuncture for before and after embryo transfer
Exclusion criteria:
- frozen embryo transfer
- acupuncture used as adjunct to analgesia
- electroacupuncture
- donor oocytes
- non-randomized trials, case-controls, case studies
- studies included in the 2009 Cochrane review
Data collection and analysis
Thirteen randomized controlled trials were identified that involved acupuncture and in vitro fertilization with embryo transfer. Trials were analyzed for the following methodological details and quality criteria: study characteristics (randomization, blinding, power analysis, intention-to-treat analysis), patient characteristics (demographics, inclusion and exclusion criteria), interventions (IVF stimulation protocols, timing of acupuncture or control, acupoints chosen), and outcomes (ongoing pregnancy rates, live birth rates).
Main results
Only one of the trials demonstrated a result that achieved statistical significance. So 2009 showed that placebo acupuncture resulted in significantly higher overall birth rate when compared to true acupuncture. Even with adequate power, none of the other trials showed a difference that achieved statistical significance in pregnancy rate or live birth rates between acupuncture and control groups.
Conclusions
Acupuncture does not improve IVF outcomes and should not be offered routinely as an adjunct to fertility treatment. The evidence from the current literature suggests a positive effect of sham and placebo acupuncture on IVF outcomes, and therefore merits further study with adequately powered RCTs.

The effect of paternal heat stress on the development of preimplantation embryos in the mouse / by Bi-ke Zhu.Zhu, Bike January 2002 (has links)
"July 2002" / Bibliography: leaves 185-247. / xvi, 247 leaves : ill., plates (some col.) ; 30 cm. / Title page, contents and abstract only. The complete thesis in print form is available from the University Library. / "Paternal heat stress has been reported not only to damage spermatogenesis, endocrine and biochemical functions of testicular tissues, but also to affect the development of preimplantation, implanting and post-implantation embryos in both animals and humans. However, the relationship between the development of preimplantation embryos and the extent of damage of germ cells during heating has not been considered in detail and the molecular mechanisms underlying the effect of paternal heat stress on the development of embryos have not been investigated. These issues form the focus for the studies presented in this thesis. All work was undertaken in mice, using F1 C57/CBA progeny." -- Abstract / Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Adelaide, Dept. of Animal Science, 2002
