*5.5.3 Conclusion*

In adults, TENS + 5HTRA may be the best treatment, while in children, acupuncture reduces the incidence of PONV as well as the use of antiemetics, particularly during the first few hours after surgery. Future work should determine the best technique or combination of techniques for acupuncture and also explore the use of acupuncture as a part of the complementary and integrative treatment of PONV.
