Clinical efficacy of acupuncture for pain relief from renal colic: A meta-analysis and trial sequence analysis
2023 Jan 09 Frontiers in Medicine Chen HT, Kuo CF, Hsu CC, Lai LC, Cheng AC, Sun CK, et al.
Compared with conventional analgesic-based interventions, acupuncture can more efficiently relieve renal colic with fewer adverse effects. The limited number and quality of included studies warrant more clinical RCTs to support our findings.

Acupuncture provides speedy and effective pain relief for renal colic, surpassing traditional drugs with fewer side effects suggesting its potential as a safe and efficient option for acute pain treatment
Systematic Review
Acupuncture proves effective for relieving pain in renal colic, demonstrating rapid onset of analgesic action and lower pain scores at 30-60 minutes compared to conventional treatments. The mechanism of action remains unclear but appears to involve nervous system modulation, endocrine regulation, and muscle relaxation. Compared to NSAIDs and opioids, acupuncture offers a safer, less risk option with potential for effective pain relief.
