A acupuntura é uma técnica há muito tempo utilizada no tratamento de doenças na Medicina Tradicional Chinesa. O mecanismo de ação da acupuntura parece envolver ativação de vias opioidérgicos, adrenérgicos, serotoninérgicos, colinérgicos e GABAérgicos, mas ainda não está claro. No entanto, sua eficácia no manejo da dor tem sido continuamente confirmada em diversos trabalhos. Justamente por esta razão, o uso da terapia por acupuntura no tratamento da dor oncológica tem se elevado. A dor é sintoma clínico frequente e mais difícil de se lidar no tratamento do câncer. Seja proveniente da própria doença ou decorrente do tratamento quimioterápico e/ou radiológico, o alívio da dor oncológica envolve, geralmente, o uso analgésico opioides, os quais estão associados a vários problemas como abusos e vícios, overdoses acidentais e/ou depressão respiratória. Diversos trabalhos apontam que o uso da acupuntura na dor oncológica reduz a necessidade de opioides, além de promover reduzir concomitantemente outros sintomas decorrentes do tratamento do câncer. Esse trabalho, visa apresentar uma revisão de literatura sobre acupuntura e apontar como esse tratamento pode ser de grande auxílio no manejo da dor nos cuidados paliativos.
