Journal Club – The Impact of Whole Systems Traditional Chinese Medicine on IVF Outcomes
In this Healthy Seminars presentation, Dr. Lee Hullender Rubin will present her study, The Impact of Whole Systems Traditional Chinese Medicine on In-Vitro Fertilization Outcomes. When patients attend acupuncture to support their assisted reproductive treatments, they may be treated with more than just a few needles by an acupucnturist. In the real-world, they can receive a more complex treatment like Whole-systems traditional Chinese medicine (WSTCM) which can include acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, dietary, lifestyle recommendations. But, WSTCM’s influence on in-vitro fertilization outcomes is unclear. Until now. Her retrospective cohort study of 1,231 IVF patient records assessed the effect of adjuvant WS-TCM on IVF outcomes compared among three groups: IVF with no additional treatment; IVF and elective acupuncture on day of embryo transfer; or IVF and elective WS-TCM. She will review the study in detail and answer questions.
