Objective To explore clinical mechanisms of acupoint catgut embedding for treatment of simple obesity. Methods Thirty-two cases of simple obesity were treated by acupoint catgut embedding and acupoints were selected based on differentiation of symptoms and signs. After treatment for 1 or 2 therapeutic courses, the clinical therapeutic effect and changes of the body weight, obesity degree, body mass index, circumferences of the chest, lumbus and buttock, and blood lipids and blood glucose were investigated. Results After one course the total effective rate was 84. 4% and after 2 courses it was 90. 0%. After the treatment, the various indexes all changed significantly, the longer the treatment time, the better the therapeutic effect. Conclusion Acupoint catgut embedding has a satisfactory therapeutic effect on obesity, with advantages of simple manipulation and saving time.
