Taping versus Akupunktur zur Geburtsvorbereitung nach dem Mannheimer Schema. Zwei Verfahren - gleiche Ergebnisse?

Results: The beneficial effects of acupuncture in preparation of parturition, which are known and proven by previous studies were reproduced, further substantiating its effectiveness as a prenatal treatment. In contrast, no significant positive outcome could be demonstrated after prenatal treatment with taping. Following the implications of this study, taping cannot be recommended for preparation of parturition, as therapeutic effects could not be verified.
