Methods: 20 cases which match the criteria for diagnosis of simple obesity were treated by multiple needling with shallow insertion. Treatment was given once daily for 20 days as a total therapeutic course. Results: After 20 treatments, the body weight, waistline, and the serum total cholesterol (TC), the fasting triglyceride (TG) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) were significantly changed (P〈0.05). Conclusion: The therapy can provide good theraoeutic effects for simple obesity.展开更多
