Review Description

Acupuncture after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) may decrease the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV).Acupuncture did not decrease visual analog scale (VAS) scores in the 0 to 48-hour interval but did decrease VAS scores at >48 hours after TKA.The heterogeneity of the studies prevented meta-Analysis of opioid use with acupuncture after TKA; a systematic review demonstrated mixed results.Additional studies are needed to investigate opioid reduction with acupuncture after TKA.
