The Clinical Observation Of90Cases Of Row Acupuncture Combined With Acupoint Catgut Embedding Therapy Treating Spleen Dampness Obesity

Objective:By using Acupoint catgut embedding combined with Part acupoints of Spleen Meridian and Stomach Meridian to treat90patients who are suffering from’Spleen Dampness Type of Obesity’. The purpose is to define the efficacy of these methods on patients’weight、 BMI、 Waist circumference、 Hip circumference and body fat percentage. According to the clinical efficacy of the methods on treating the’Spleen Dampness Type of Obesity’to provide the relevant evidences for exhaust thorn combined with embedding method to treat the Spleen Dampness Type of Obesity.Method:1. From April2012to December2013, Selecting90patients who suit the study criteria from the4th Acupuncture clinics and wards of our hospital. The ages of these samples are from30to55years. Among them,42patients are male,48patients are female. Using random number table to divide the patients into three groups:’Simple acupuncture group’,’Row thorn and Catgut implantation group’and’Electroacupuncture group’, each group has30patients.2. The point selections of’Simple acupuncture group’and ’Electroacupuncture group’were Tianshu、 Zhongwan、Quchi、Yinlingquan-. Taichong、 Guilau、 Xiawan、Zhongji、 Zhigou.Specifically. Firstly, the needle reducing method was adopted by the’Simple acupuncture group’and pricking30minutes once a day. Secondly, for’Electroacupuncture group’, making the electric acupuncture symmetrically connected with Zhongwan and Xiawan、 Yinlingquan and Taichong(anode connected with Zhongwan and Yinlingquan, cathode connected with Xiawan and Taichong). After inserting the acupuncture needle into the relevant points using the dilatational wave and the frequency was20/100Hz, the degree of strength was the patients’ tolerance. Additionally, Zhongwan、 Pishu、 Weishu、 Dachangshu、 Zusanli、 Shangjuxu、Fenglong points were chosen by’Row thorn and Catgut implantation group’; Selecting Spleen Meridian’s points of Daheng、 Fujie、 Fushe of and the Stomach Meridian’s points of Guanmen、 Taiyi、 Huaroumen、 Tianshu、 Wailing、 Daj、 Shuidao、 Guilai、 Qichong to do the row thorn. All of these three methods had been processed four weeks for a course, and two courses for one treatment.3. Before and after the treatment, measuring the weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC) and body fat percentage (F%) of patients. Using SPSS17.0software to evaluate the efficacy of each sample group based on the data and information which were collected by the research.Result:After two courses, in each group, patients’body weight, BMI, WC, HC and body fat percentage were previously improved. Relying on the statistical analysis, the results are showing below:1. group inside comparison:three sets of weight and body mass index and the other indexes in a course of treatment compared with before treatment decreased, there are some obvious changes (P<0.05); Significantly lower compared with the previous two courses after treatment, there are very significant differences (P<0.01).2. Among three groups:After one course of the whole treatment, the efficacy of Row thorn with Catgut implantation group and Electroacupuncture group are better than Simple acupuncture group, but there is no specific difference between Row thorn with Catgut implantation group and Electroacupuncture group; After the whole treatment, the efficacy compared with each other has a obvious difference between these three groups. Conclusion:1. All these three methods have effects to the treatment on Spleen Dampness Type of Obesity.2.From the long-term effects, the effect on the Row thorn and Catgut implantation group’s patients are better than the Simple acupuncture group and Electroacupuncture group’s patients.
