“…Meanwhile, SRs [ 19 , 27 , 40 ] concluded that acupuncture is beneficial for women with POR or with previous unsuccessful IVF attempts. With POSEIDON criteria further classifying POR patients, to investigate acupuncture's influence in these 4 groups respectively, we plan to conduct this SR, then provide references for the use of acupuncture on POSEIDON patients.…”

“…[ 10 – 18 ] Meanwhile, on POR patients undergoing IVF/ICSI, acupuncture is reported effective in improving AMH, retrieved oocytes number, and clinical pregnancy rates (CPR). [ 19 ] Under these circumstances, it is worthy to investigate acupuncture's efficacy on POR women with POSEIDON classification; thus, we would like to conduct this systematic review (SR) to evaluate acupuncture's influence on CPR, live birth rates (LBRs) for POSEIDON patients underwent IVF/ICSI.…”

Introduction: The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of acupuncture for POSEIDON patients undergoing IVF/ICSI. Methods: and analysis We will electronically search Pubmed, Medline, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trial, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, China Biomedical Literature Database, China Science Journal Database and Wan-fang Database from their inception. Also, we will manually retrieve other resources, including reference lists of identified publications, conference articles, and grey literature. The clinical randomized controlled trials or quasi randomized controlled trials related to acupuncture treatment for POSEIDON patients in IVF/ICSI will be included in the study. The language is limited to Chinese and English. Research selection, data extraction, and research quality assessment will be independently completed by two researchers. Data were synthesized by using a fixed effect model or random effect model depend on the heterogeneity test. The clinical pregnancy rate (CPR) and live birth rate (LBR) will be the primary outcomes. The ongoing pregnancy, miscarriage rate (MR) and adverse events will also be assessed as secondary outcomes. RevMan V.5.3 statistical software will be used for meta-analysis, and the level of evidence will be assessed by Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE). Continuous data will be expressed in the form of weighted mean difference or standardized mean difference with 95% confidence intervals (CIs), while dichotomous data will be expressed in the form of relative risk with 95% CIs. Ethics and dissemination: The protocol of this systematic review (SR) does not require ethical approval because it does not involve humans. We will publish this article in peer-reviewed journals and presented at relevant conferences. Systematic review registration: OSF Registries, DOI: 10.17605/OSF.IO/6WP2F ( https://osf.io/6wp2f )

“…Acupuncture therapy has been shown may have effects on infertility. [ 10 – 13 ] However, only 1 systematic review [ 14 ] demonstrated that acupuncture might improve clinical pregnancy rate (CPR), anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), antral follicle count, and the number of retrieved oocytes in POR patients undergoing IVF. In contrast, it is hard to conclude that acupuncture is more effective than traditional therapies for POR.…”

“…Although acupuncture has been used to improve pregnancy rate among women undergoing IVF, [ 32 – 34 ] there is only 1 systematic review to describe the effectiveness of acupuncture in improving the CPR after IVF. [ 14 ] We will provide clinicians with more precise data on the effectiveness of acupuncture of POR patients during COH in the context of IVF as well as identify areas where further evaluation is necessary.…”

Background: Poor ovarian response (POR) is a high-incidence disease of women, which cause in vitro fertilization failure. Various treatment options have been proposed for women with POR to improve their ovarian response, but with little effect. In recent years, there is a wide range of applications of acupuncture in the process of in vitro fertilization. The meta-analysis and systematic review are designed to analyze whether acupuncture is effective for patients with POR. Methods: The following databases will be searched from inception to March 2020: Electronic databases consist of MEDLINE, EMBASE, Allied and Complementary Medicine Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, the Chinese Scientific Journal Database, and Wanfang Database. Other literature resources will also be searched including clinical trial registries, key journals, and meeting records. The results of randomized controlled trials of acupuncture therapy on POR, which are published in Chinese or English, will be embedded. The primary outcome is the clinical pregnancy rate. Data identification, data selection, data extraction, and assessment of bias risk will be completed independently by 2 or more reviewers. STATA/IC 16 will be used to perform the meta-analysis. We will use the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation system to evaluate the quality of our evidence. A systematic narrative synthesis will be provided if the quantitative analysis is not available. Discussion: This study will provide the first meta-analysis and systematic review to evaluate the efficacy of acupuncture in treating POR. This protocol provides details to guide this study. Conclusions: From this review may benefit POR patients or clinical decision-makers. PROSPERO registration number: PROSPERO CRD42020169560.
