CRD SUMMARY: This review concluded that acupressure and acupuncture are effective in reducing post-operative vomiting in children, with acupuncture showing the greatest impact and being equally beneficial when compared with medication. Given the variation between the studies and the limitations in study number, size and quality, the reliability of the authors' conclusions is unclear.
