Journal Title: TMR Clinical Research - Year 2021, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective: Observe the advantages and characteristics of Acupuncture therapy and Point Thread Embedding therapy in the treatment of simple obesity and to select the superior treatment schemes. Methods: on the basis of syndrome differentiation, acupuncture and Point Thread Embedding therapy were adopted respectively for 3 courses of treatment. Observe the changes of body weight and abdomen/waist/hip circumference in different stages of treatment and evaluate the curative effect. Results: Both acupuncture and Point Thread Embedding could lessen the weight and the abdomen/waist/hip circumference of simple obesity. Acupuncture and Point Thread Embedding can not only reduce body weight, but also improve clinical symptoms of simple obesity. The effect rate of clinical symptoms is better than that of weight（P < 0.05); The efficiency of Point Thread Embedding group is better than that of Acupuncture group(P < 0.05).There was no significant weight loss from the second course of treatment especially in acupuncture group（P > 0.05）.Conclusion: Acupuncture and Point Thread Embedding in the treatment of simple obesity focus more on the adjustment of body shape and constitution of obese patients; Compare with acupuncture treatment, point thread embedding group had a slower onset time and a longer duration of curative effect while acupuncture group had a faster onset time but a shorter duration. When the body weight is reduced to 5kg, the plateau stage occurs. Point Thread Embedding therapy is easier to be popularized and applied in clinic Because of its convenient and stable therapeutic effect.
