  ABSTRACT: Acupuncture, which is the most commonly used method among traditional and complementary medicine methods, has recently begun to be used also in pediatric cases. In the present review, acupuncture procedures performed by acupuncture needle in pediatric cases were evaluated. Studies have revealed that there are fields in which acupuncture is beneficial and not recommended for pediatric diseases. The use of acupuncture is recommended for the treatment of nocturnal enuresis, pain, nausea-vomiting and allergic diseases in children. Acupuncture and acupressure studies in neonates have also been initiated. Further studies are needed on the applicability of acupuncture in pediatric patients. How important is the benefit brought by acupuncture to children, it is also important who would perform acupuncture and which method would be used.
