Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialAcupuncture for cervical ripening and induction of labor at term--a randomized controlled trial.
The aim of this study was to evaluate whether acupuncture at term can influence cervical ripening, induce labor and thus reduce the need for postdates induction. ⋯ Acupuncture at points LI4 and SP 6 supports cervical ripening at term and can shorten the time interval between the EDC and the actual time of delivery.
