Over time, massage therapy has been widely used to treat physical pain and mental difficulties and currently causes no significant adverse effects or risks to the patient. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of deep relaxation therapy (andullation) using oscillating vibrations on blastocyst transfer in in vitro fertilisation (IVF) cryo-cycles. The 267 IVF patients that participated in this study collectively had a mean age of 36.3 years and all previously received a transfer of vitrified, warmed blastocysts. Before embryo transfer, the test group received a deep relaxation massage for 30 minutes on a vibrating device, in comparison to the control group that underwent no changes. The main measurable factors included pregnancy rates using a urine test for hCG, ongoing pregnancies by examining the fetal heartbeat and birth rates, and miscarriage rates.

The results showed that patients who received andullation therapy before embryo transfer, had significantly greater pregnancy rates, ongoing pregnancies and birth rates compared to those who did not, regardless of age and hormonal status. The research team concluded that andullation therapy preceding to blastocyst transfer in cryo-cycles greatly improve implantation, as it reduces stress, uterine contractions and may also enhance blood flow in the abdomen. Ultimately, these findings have showed that massage therapy is a suitable method to enhance assisted-reproduction techniques (ARTs).

Acupuncture and moxibustion are key natural therapies that play a role in traditional Chinese medicine, and have been a recommended treatment for various conditions. The aim of the investigate was to observe the effects of acupuncture and moxibustion on pregnancy in IVF-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) patients, and to determine its application value in IVF-ET treatment. 114 IVF-ET patients that were treated with standard long-term program at luteal phase were equally and randomly divided into a test and control group. The test group underwent one session of acupuncture and moxibustion treatment before embryo-transfer, thus a total of 3 sessions of the therapy were undertaken. The control group did not receive acupuncture or moxibustion prior to ET. Measurable factors of this experiment included: endometrial morphology, endometrial blood flow, the levels of estrogen, progesterone and luteinizing hormone on the day of injection of hCG, the dosage and time of gonadotropin, oocyte count, high-quality embryo number, embryo cultivation rate and clinical pregnant rate.

Patients treated with acupuncture and moxibustion revealed significantly higher estrogen levels on the day of hCG injections and high-quality embryo rate. It was also noted that endometrial blood flow and morphology was affected such that endometrial receptivity was increased. Therefore with further analysis into application and specific impacts, the researcher suggests acupuncture and moxibustion will improve IVF-ET outcome in patients and be a key assistant therapeutic.
