Moxibustion for Fetus in Breech Presentation
Objective: To evaluate moxibustion of the BL67 acupoint between 34 and 38 weeks of gestation to facilitate cephalic version of breech presentation in a Western setting. The hypothesis is that moxibustion increase the likelihood of cephalic version.
Design: Randomised controlled trial Setting: University hospital. Population: A total of 212 consenting women between 34 and 36 weeks of gestation with a single fetus in breech presentation will be randomised to moxibustion (n=106) or expectant management (n=106).
