Can Acupuncture Replace Conscious Sedation in In-Vitro-Fertilization Transvginal Oocyte Retrievals?
This study aims to determine whether one can replace pain relief in women undergoing oocyte retrieval (OR) using electro-acupuncture (EA) instead of conscious sedation (CS).
A total of 60 women were randomized and 29 women were on electro-acupuncture (EA) versus 27 women on conscious sedation (CS) with intravenous medication for transvaginal egg extraction (OR) in IVF. Pain scores were recorded before , during and after egg extraction when the women were on conscious sedation and electro-acupuncture. Side effects were recorded. Physical parameters were recorded. Livebirth outcome were also recorded.
