Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of moxibustion in infertility with In Vitro Fertilization and Embryo Transfer (IVF-ET). Methods: We searched 8 databases (Embase, PubMed, CiNii, CNKI, OASIS, ScienceOn, KMBASE, KISS)to identify eligible studies published before 2021 Oct. We included randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) using moxibustion in infertility with IVF-ET. The methodological quality of each RCT was assessed by the Cochrane risk of bias tool. Results: Two RCT studies were eligible in our review. The overall risk of bias was evaluated as unclear. The meta-analysis of 2 trials indicated that favorable results for the use of moxibustion with IVF-ET. Conclusions: This systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical trials suggests that moxibustion with IVF-ET can effect on Infertility patients. However, because of studies included analysis was biased due to unclear risk of bias and unreliable study design, future RCT studies and additional Meta-Analysis are needed to judge the supplementary treatment role of moxibustion in infertility with IVF-ET.
