Abstract: 39 patients with a breech presantation of the fetus after the 30th of pregnancy have been treated according to reports from China by acupuncture-moxibustion of the point "Zhiyin", which is situated on the outside of the fifth toe. 13 fetus (33%) changed into a head presentation. in a control group of 121 non treated patients a spontaneous version rate of 68% (22 patients) was found. This difference is significant p<0,001. Therefore a moxibustion treatment in a comparative study of cases of breech presentation did not show any positive effect on the version rate, maybe this treatment even has a negative effect.
