    Abstract

    ![CDATA[To investigate current use and clinical practice considerations amongst acupuncturists treating threatened miscarriage, a common complication of pregnancy that may result in miscarriage and premature labour. Although only a “wait and see approach” is advised medically, treatment recommendations exist within acupuncture texts. However these are conflicting, potentially creating treatment uncertainty and limiting clinical practice. As women increasingly seek acupuncture for their fertility, opportunities exist to offer interested women treatment for threatened miscarriage. To explore this potential, acupuncturist’ views were sought to add to the limited information currently available.]]
