Acupuncture for pediatric chronic pain: a systematic review
CONCLUSION: The analyzed studies showed important clinical results such as the reduction of pain intensity, and improvement in school attendance and social life. However, there are many limitations in study design and sample size. Therefore, there is weak evidence to support the use of acupuncture in the context of pediatric chronic pain, but the positive results reinforce the need for further investigation of the topic with the conduct of larger and well-designed studies, to obtain more data and greater scientific conviction of the findings.PMID:38697213 | DOI:10.1016/j.jped.2024.03.013 (Source: Jornal de Pediatria)
