Acupuncture for labor pain management: A systematic view

Article Abstract:

A critical evaluation of the evidence on the analgesic effect of acupuncture during labor is presented, using computerized literature searches of seven databases for randomized clinical trials (RCTs) of the practice. Evidence for acupuncture as an adjunct to conventional pain control during labor is promising, but not convincing enough due to lack of adequate trial data, indicating a need for further research to clearly define its place in labor pain management.
