Acupuncture Benefit Seen in Pregnancy

Acupuncture Benefit Seen in Pregnancy - WSJ.com: "Acupuncture designed to treat depression appears to improve symptoms in pregnant women, suggesting it as an alternative to antidepressant medication during pregnancy, a study found.

The study, published Monday in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology, is the largest to date examining the effectiveness of acupuncture to treat depression in pregnant women. It was funded by a grant from the government's Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. 'Acupuncture that we have tested works for pregnant, depressed women,' said Rachel Manber, a study author and professor at Stanford University. However, 'no single study is enough to make policy recommendations,' she said."
