Clinical Observation On Simple Obesity Treated By Combination Of Electroacupuncture And Cupping Therapy

Objective:The purpose of this research is to compare the regulatory effects of electro-acupuncture combined with cupping and electro-acupuncture on waist circumference,hip circumference,body weight,body mass index and body fat percentage of simple obesity patients,and to observe the clinical efficacy of two kinds of acupuncture and moxibustion therapy on simple obesity patients,so as to provide evidence for clinical diagnosis and treatment programs.Methods:Sixty patients with obesity were recruited by INAM Medical Center of Azerbaijani.They were randomly divided into Group A(electro-acupuncture combined with cupping therapy)and Group B(electro-acupuncture only)with random number table.Acupuncture points were Zhongwan,Tianshu,Zusanli,Sanyinjiao,Fenglong,Daheng,Qihai,waterway,Guanyuan,Huaroumen,Shangjuxu,and electro-acupuncture at Tianshu-Daheng and Zusanli-Sanyinjiao for 30 minutes,once every other day,20 times as a complete course of treatment.Keep the cups for 10 minutes for Group A.After the treatment,WC,HC,body weight,body mass index and body fat percentage of the two groups were observed before and after the treatment,and compared between groups to analyze.Results:1.Waist circumference changes of the two groups of participants:After treatment,the two groups of patients were lower than the waist circumference before treatment,and the difference was statistically significant.Compared with the group,the electroacupuncture combined with the cupping group showed more obvious waist circumference after treatment.Reduced,and the difference was statistically significant.2.Changes in hip circumference of the two groups of participants:After treatment,the hip circumference of the two groups were lower than that before treatment,and the difference was statistically significant.Compared with the group,the electroacupuncture combined with the cupping group showed the hip circumference after treatment.A more pronounced decrease,and the difference was statistically significant.3.Changes in body weight of the two groups of participants:After treatment,the body weight of the two groups of participants was lower than that before treatment,and the difference was statistically significant.Compared with the group,the proportion of the electroacupuncture combined with the cupping group was more obvious after treatment.The decrease was statistically significant.4.BMI changes in the two groups of participants:After treatment,the BMI of the two groups of participants was lower than that before treatment,and the difference was statistically significant.Compared with the group,the BMI appeared more obvious after electroacupuncture combined with the cupping group.The decrease was statistically significant.5.After treatment,the percentage of body fat in the two groups was lower than that before treatment,and the difference was statistically significant.Compared with the group,the percentage of body fat after electroacupuncture combined with the cupping group showed a more significant decrease.And the difference is statistically significant.6.The two groups of participants who underwent complete treatment had higher effective rate,and the difference between the two groups was not significant(P>0.05).Conclusion:.Group A(EA combined with cupping therapy)improved the main obesity index better than group B(EA only);There was no significant difference in efficacy between the two groups.Group A(EA combined with cupping therapy)or group B(EA only)could effectively treat simple obesity.
