Methods: A total of 39 cases of simple obesity complicated with premenstrual tension were treated by combination of body acupuncture and otoacupuncture based on syndrome-differentiation of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Symptoms, physical signs, obesity indexes and cumulative scores of clinical disease-syndrome before and after treatment were analyzed and compared. Results: After one, two and three courses of treatment, the effective rates were 69.23%, 79.49% and 87.18% respectively. Conclusion: Acupuncture therapy works well in the treatment of simple obesity with concurrent premenstrual tension syndrome.展开更多

Methods： By means of syndrome-differentiation, 45 female simple obese （SO） patients with PTS （SO＋ PTS group and 35 simple obesity patients （SO group） were treated with body acupuncture combined with ear acupuncture. Thirtythree normal women subjects were assigned to control group. Changes in symptoms, signs, obesity index, clinical indices of disease and syndrome, equilibrium index of the vegetative nervous system （Y value）, blood estradiol （E2）, progesterone （P）, aldosterone （Aid） and lipid levels were detected and compared before and after the treatment. Results： Before acupuncture treatmerit, the obesity index, clinical indices of disease and syndrome, Y value, E2/P ratio and Aid in these patients were obviously increased, and E2 and P levels decreased. After the treatment, the body weight of the patients was reduced, and the increased obesity index, clinical indices of diseases and syndromes, Y value, E2/P ratio and Aid were markedly lowered （P〈0.05, or P 〈 0.01）, and the decreased E2 and P levels elevated significantly （P〈 0.01）. Conclusion： Acupuncture exerts favorable regulative function on clinical indices of disease and syndrome, Y value, E2, P, Aid, lipid and E2/P in obese patients with PTS, which may be related to its resultant improvement of the functions of the hypothalamo-pituitary-gonedal axis, hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis and the vegetative nervous system.展开更多
