Summary
Inadequate pain management is a common problem encountered in ED settings. Pain relief
medications use is often limited by their side effects. Evidence suggests that non
pharmacologic pain relief techniques such as acupuncture can play a central role to treat
pain in acute conditions, but their application is still scarce.
