Also there are no reports of complications during or after labor associated with the use of acupuncture, though it is recommended in all articles that acupuncture must be used with care, soft or none stimulations, and selection of minimum points each time, and in accordance to Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosis, it is also recommended not to use the points that induce labor unless it is really necessary. It is also common to all the studies that the sessions should be done frequently so the pregnant woman can benefit more. The needles retention should be done for a period of 25 to 30 minutes.Downloads
