How come health insurance pays for stuff like acupuncture and naturopathy? I suspect it is to get patients with chronic nonfatal mild conditions onto cheaper regimens that may not actually work but do no harm and cost less than mainstream stuff.

But in that article they are talking about depression. Only in passing they talk about pain and how it works better for that. Anyway, I think insurances cover it specifically for pain.

I don’t think there’s any rigorous evidence for any benefit. Not that I’ve seen. It’s all first-person anecdata with no unconfounding for placebo effects. My null hypothesis is there is nothing there.
