In a study of 45 women suffering from luteal insufficiency or oligoamenorrhoea, auricular acupuncture was used as a primary treatment for infertility and a similar control group was treated with hormone treatments. Both groups were matched for previous pregnancies, menstrual cycle and tubal patency etc. Women treated with acupuncture had 22 pregnancies and women treated with hormones had 20 pregnancies. There were no side-effects in the acupuncture group. Various disorders or the autonomic nervous system normalized during acupuncture and researchers concluded that "auricular acupuncture seems to offer a valuable alternative therapy for female infertility due to hormone disorders".
