SUMMARY
This paper presents a summary of the evidence for the effectiveness of acupuncture in the treatment of pregnancy- related conditions and other uses in obstetrics . The majority of the articles reviewed relate to induction or preparation for labour (11 studies) and analgesia in labour (16). Others cover various conditions of pregnancy such as backache or breech presentation. There is a wide variability in the type of acupuncture and methodological design making it difficult to compare studies and develop overall conclusions. Nevertheless the available sources provide some evidence that acupuncture is an effective treatment for these conditions.
