RE: Critical review of acupuncture as a therapeutic procedure ; can we call it a placebo?
Maybe it worked because some acupuncture points coincided with some actual "trigger points"? When they mention qi and energy we get in the realm of pseudoscience..
In any case, the placebo effect is also there. Personally, I will clearly not buy it without any scientific evidence, but I am all in for it if it can help (and it often helps), could it be via the placebo effect or via some real stuff through these trigger points (the latter having to be proved).

of which I cannot vouch for
