ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the use of laser acupuncture to help turn babies that are in a breech position (bottom or feet first) to a head-down position before birth. While traditional acupuncture methods have been used for this purpose, researchers want to find out if laser acupuncture can be just as effective and safe.

To participate in this study, women between 28 and 34 weeks pregnant who are carrying a single baby in a breech position may be eligible. However, those with certain conditions, like problems with their uterus or a risk of early labor, cannot participate. If you join the study, you can expect to receive laser acupuncture treatment and have regular check-ups to see how your baby is positioned. Overall, this trial aims to provide more information about the potential benefits of laser acupuncture for breech presentation, which could help improve outcomes for both mothers and their babies.
