摘要
Objective To observe the clinical therapeutic effect of catgut embedding therapy for treatment of menopausal obesity. Methods Sixty-four cases of menopausal obesity patients were randomly divided into two groups, 32 cases in each group. In control group, the diet control was employed. And based on it, in observation group, catgut embedding therapy was apphed at Zusanli （足三里 ST 36）, Sanyinjiao （三阴交 SP 6）, matched with other points in line with syndrome differentiation. Therapeutic effect evaluated by changes of weight, Body Mass Index （BMI）, waist circumference and Kupperman index before and after treatment was observed. Results The total effective rate for treating obesity and menopausal syndrome was 90.6% （29/32）, 87.5% （28/32） respectively in observation group, superior to those of 46.9% （15/32）, 40.6% （13/32） in control group （both P〈0.05）; weight, BMI, waist circumference and Kupperman index in both groups improved distinctively after treatment （all P〈0.05）, and changes were more significantly in observation group than those in control group （all P〈0.05）. Conclusion For treating menopausal obesity, catgut embedding therapy not only has a good therapeutic effect on weight loss, but also improves menopausal syndrome.
目的:观察穴位埋线治疗更年期妇女肥胖的临床疗效。方法:将64例更年期妇女肥胖患者随机分为两组,每组32例。对照组予饮食控制,穴位埋线组在此基础上加穴位埋线,穴取足三里、三阴交,并根据随证配穴。观察两组治疗前后体质量、体质量指数(BMI)、腰围、Kupperman指数的变化情况及临床疗效。结果:穴位埋线组治疗肥胖和更年期综合征的总有效率分别为90.6%(29/32)、87.5%(28/32), 优于对照组的46.9%(15/32)、40.6%(13/32)(均P<0.05);两组治疗后体质量、BMI、腰围、Kupperman指数均明显改善(均P<0.05),且穴位埋线组较对照组改善更明显(均P<0.05)。结论:穴位埋线在治疗更年期妇女肥胖,取得良好减肥效果的同时,也能改善更年期综合征。
