ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND AIM:
Acupuncture is part of thousand years Traditional Chinese Medicine. There was promising evidence to support the efficacy of acupuncture in reducing postoperative surgery and dental pain, as well as chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting. The US National Health Statistics Report indicated that there was significant increase in the use of acupuncture.

andConclusions:
Acupuncture treatment is well supported to be effective treatment for pediatric procedural pain, infantile colic, adolescent pelvic pain, and headaches under specific intervention methods. There is increasing interest in using acupuncture and related techniques for pediatric pain management. However, the evidence-based randomized controlled trials using acupuncture for pediatric pain management is very limited. Further randomized controlled trial research in pediatric pain is urgently needed.
