CRD SUMMARY: This review assessed the safety of acupuncture treatment during pregnancy, concluding that adverse events were generally mild, and that serious adverse events were rare. Given the generally poor quality of reporting in the included studies and the somewhat limited data and evidence synthesis, the authors’ conclusions should not be considered reliable, particularly when not presented alongside acupuncture effectiveness data.
