CRD SUMMARY: This review assessed acupuncture as an adjunctive treatment for cancer-related pain. The authors concluded that current evidence does not support the use of acupuncture, and that adequately powered randomised controlled trials are required. This was a well-conducted review and the authors' conclusions are likely to be robust.
