Abstract

Threatened miscarriage is a common complication of pregnancy with risk factors for miscarriage or premature labour. Although only a 'wait and see approach' is advised medically, treatment recommendations exist within acupuncture texts. The objective of this study was to examine the feasibility of offering acupuncture as a therapeutic treatment for women presenting with threatened miscarriage.
