If acupuncture is so wonderful, why is there any necessity for anesthesia
whatsoever?

wondering that myself...

Its very simple and a part of the article itself:

"Patients who received acupuncture had significantly lower risk of
developing most common side effects associated with opioid drugs
compared with control: 1.5 times lower rates of nausea, 1.3 times
fewer incidences of severe itching, 1.6 times fewer reports of
dizziness and 3.5 times fewer cases of urinary retention."

Those are pretty good reasons. Acupuncture improves conventional
medicine as it does so many things in life.
