| Objective: The article aim at observing the efficacy of catgut implantation at acupointon treating simple obesity of stomach-heat and damp-stagnation syndrome.And whether ithas superiority compared with acupuncture, thus providing efficacy analysis basis forclinical treatment of patients with simple obesity of stomach-heat and damp-stagnationsyndrome.Method: Choose56patients who has simple obesity, then divided them into twogroups randomly, acupoint catgut implantation group (observation group) and acupuncturegroup (control group), each group has27cases. Through the method of before-after selfcontrol study and comparison between groups, observe the changes before and after thetreatment at some aspects, such as weight, body mass index, bust, waist and hipcircumference, leptin and symptom.Result: After two courses of treatment, there are significant improvements ofpatients’ weight, body mass index, waist and hip circumference and followed syndromes,the leptin also descends significantly. The statistics analysis shows that:within thegroups:compared with the conditions before the treatment.the weight, body mass indexand waist, hip circumference,leptin and symptom score of the patient all descendsignificantly after one and two period treatment, there is very significant difference (P＜0.01). The chest circumference of two groups also has notable difference after one and twoperiod treatments (P>0.05); group comparison shows that compared with the conditionsbefore the treatment, there is no significant difference at thus aspect as weight, body massindex and waist, hip circumference, leptin and symptom score after one and two periodtreatment,(P>0.05), so as the followed syndrome. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that acupoint catgut embedding therapyhas very good efficacy on simple obesity of stomach-heat and damp-stagnation syndrome,and it has no significant difference than acupuncture. |
