Overview
Summary: Acupuncture and GnRHa for IVF-ET Patients with RIF
Objective: Study aimed to improve pregnancy outcomes in IVF-ET patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF).
Methods: 164 patients divided into control (HRT) and study (acupuncture + GnRHa + HRT) groups.
Results: Study group showed higher EMT, more linear endometrium, and improved clinical pregnancy and embryo implantation rates.
Conclusion: Acupuncture combined with GnRHa enhances endometrial receptivity, increasing clinical pregnancy rates and improving outcomes in IVF-ET patients with RIF.

Insights from the Study
What are the pregnancy outcomes associated with acupuncture combined with hormone therapy in patients with recurrent implantation failure?
Acupuncture combined with hormone therapy in patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF) of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) showed improved endometrial receptivity, leading to higher clinical pregnancy rates and enhanced embryo implantation rates compared to hormone replacement therapy (HRT) alone.
How does acupuncture impact endometrial thickness and morphological classification in patients undergoing frozen-thawed embryo transfer?
Acupuncture in patients undergoing frozen-thawed embryo transfer has been shown to increase endometrial thickness and promote a more favorable endometrial morphological classification, specifically by improving the proportion of pattern A endometrium.
What is the effect of acupuncture combined with GnRH agonist on clinical pregnancy rates and embryo implantation rates in IVF-ET patients?
Acupuncture combined with Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist in IVF-ET patients has been found to enhance clinical pregnancy rates and improve embryo implantation rates compared to conventional hormone replacement therapy (HRT) alone.
Summary
The study aimed to investigate the impact of acupuncture combined with hormone therapy on patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF) undergoing in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET). Patients were divided into a study group receiving acupuncture combined with GnRH agonist and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and a control group receiving only HRT. The results showed that the study group had higher clinical pregnancy rates, improved embryo implantation rates, and lower early abortion rates compared to the control group. Acupuncture was associated with increased endometrial thickness, favorable endometrial morphological classification, and enhanced endometrial receptivity, leading to improved pregnancy outcomes in IVF-ET patients with RIF.
