Method: Sixty-eight cases of simple obesity due to spleen deficiency syndrome, including internal dampness due to spleen deficiency, qi deficiency of lung-spleen, yang deficiency of spleen-kidney, were randomly allocated into two groups, treatment group (36 cases) and control group (32 cases). The former group was treated with warm needling moxibustion method, and the latter was treated with electroacupuncture. The therapeutic effect and body weight (BW) were observed, respectively. Result: There was a significant difference between the two groups in the total effective rate (P〈0.05); there was a significant difference between the two groups in the decrease of BW (P〈0.01), furthermore, the long-term effect in warm needling moxibusiton group was better than that in the electroacupuncture group. Conclusion: The effect of needle warming moxibustion therapy on simple obesity due to spleen deficiency is accurate, and it is worth to spread.展开更多
