Abstract
Fetal malpresentations/malpositions during pregnancy and labor are deviations from normal that can lead to medical intervention. There is pertinent interest in complementary and alternative therapies to assist pregnant women; however, evidence around the value of acupoint stimulation (AS) for correcting fetal malpresentations/malpositions has not previously been summarized together. The evidence on the efficacy and safety of AS for fetal malpresentations/malpositions during pregnancy, labor, and/or birth, and AS intervention regimes for future research on midwifery acupuncture for posterior position are the subject of this letter.
