Effects of Acupoint Catgut Embedding Therapy versus Electroacupuncture Therapy on Body Weight and Shape in Female Obesity Patients

目的观察并评价穴位埋线与电针疗法对女性肥胖患者体重和体型的影响。方法 50例女性肥胖患者随机分为治疗组和对照组,每组25例。治疗组采用穴位埋线治疗,对照组采用电针治疗。治疗2个疗程后比较两组体重指数(BMI)、腰臀比及脐旁皮脂厚度,并评价疗效。结果治疗组总有效率为64.0%,对照组为72.0%,两组比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。两组治疗后BMI、腰臀比及脐旁皮脂厚度与同组治疗前比较,差异均具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。治疗组治疗前后BMI、腰臀比及脐旁皮脂厚度差值与对照组比较,差异均无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论穴位埋线和电针均能有效改善女性肥胖患者体重和体型。

Objective To investigate and evaluate the effects of acupoint catgut embedding therapy versus electroacupuncture therapy on body weight and shape in female obesity patients.Methods Fifty female obesity patients were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups,25 cases each.The treatment group received acupoint catgut embedding therapy and the control group,electroacupuncture therapy.Body mass indices （BMI）,waist-to-hip ratios and paraumbilical skinfold thicknesses were compared between the two groups after two courses of treatment.Results The total efficacy rate was 64％ in the treatment group and 72％ in the control group; there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups （P＞0.05）.There were statistically significant pre-/post-treatment differences in BMI,waist-to-hip ratio and paraumbilical skinfold thickness in the two groups （P＜ 0.05）.There were no statistically significant differences in pre-/post-treatment BMI,waist-to-hip ratio and paraumbilical skinfold thickness difference values between the treatment and control groups （P＞0.05）.Conclusion Acupoint catgut embedding therapy and electroacupuncture therapy can both effectively improve body weight and shape in female obesity patients.
