As part of a paediatric pain management program, acupuncture reduces pain scores by over 5 points on a 10-point scale and improves overall well being, new research suggests.
Yuan-Chi Lin, MD, of the Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, in Boston, Massachusetts, United States, reported his findings here October 16 at the 55th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA).
“Our experience strongly suggests that acupuncture can be safely and successfully incorporated into paediatric pain management practice,” Dr. Lin said. “Physicians need to be aware of the benefits of acupuncture and begin to integrate acupuncture into their own paediatric pain management programs.”
