Infertility is a common problem with increased incidence. In-vitro fertilization (IVF) is by far the most commonly used treatment. The success rate of IVF is still low. This study examines the effect of acupuncture on IVF pregnancy rate, as well as possible mechanisms. It is hypothesized that acupuncture can significantly increase the IVF pregnancy rate.
