Clinical Study Of Dong’s Extraordinary Points In The Treatment Of Abdominal Obesity

Objective : In this study,Dong’s Extraordinary Points was used to treat abdominal obesity,and the changes of therapeutic evaluation indexes before and after treatment were compared to evaluate the clinical efficacy.The study aims to explore the advantages and feasibility of Dong’s Extraordinary Points in the treatment of abdominal obesity,and to provide objective basis for its clinical application.Methods : In this study,64 patients with abdominal obesity who met the inclusion criteria were divided into treatment group and control group according to random number expression method,with 32 cases in each group.The treatment group was treated with Dong’s Extraordinary Points(Fu-nest23 points as the main points),and the control group was treated with ordinary acupuncture(Tianshu,Daheng,Quchi,Yinlingquan,Fenglong as the main points).Both groups received basic diet and exercise treatment,and the duration of acupuncture treatment was 30 minutes each time,once every other day,3 times a week for 4 weeks.Body weight,body mass index,waist circumference,hip circumference,waist-to-hip ratio and scores on obesity-related scales were recorded before and after treatment.SPSS27.0statistical software was used to analyze the data and evaluate the therapeutic effect of the two groups.Results:During the treatment of 64 patients with abdominal obesity,1 patient were shed in the treatment group,and 2 patients were shed in the control group.Finally,a total of 61 patients completed the experiment,including 31 patients in treatment group and 30 patients in the control group.(1)Comparison of general information: in the case of general data comparison,the difference in age、gender and height between the two groups was not significantly significant(P>0.05),and comparative analysis can be conducted.(2)Comparison of obesity-related indicators: in the inter-group comparison,there were no statistically significant differences in body weight,body mass index and hip circumference between the two groups before treatment(P>0.05),and there were no statistically significant differences after treatment(P>0.05).There was no significant difference in waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio between the two groups before treatment(P>0.05),but there were significant difference after treatment(P<0.05).In the intra-group comparison,there were significant differences in body weight、body mass index、waist circumference、hip circumference and waist-to-hip ratio between the two groups before and after treatment(P<0.05).(3)Comparison of scores on obesity-related scales: in the inter-group comparison,there were no statistically significant differences in scores on obesity-related scales between the two groups before treatment(P>0.05),and there were no statistically significant differences after treatment(P>0.05).In the intra-group comparison,there were significant differences in scores on obesity-related scales between the two groups before and after treatment(P<0.05).(4)Comparison of clinical effective: 5 patients were significantly effective of 31 patients in treatment group after treatment,23 patients being effective,3 patients being completely ineffective,and the total efficiency was90.32%.2 patients were significantly effective of 30 patients in treatment group after treatment,23 patients being effective and 5 patients being completely ineffective,and the total efficiency was 83.33%.There was no significant difference in the clinical effective between the two groups(P>0.05).(5)Safety evaluation: in the course of treatment,2 patients developed local minor subcutaneous hematoma,which was not treated with special treatment,and all of them resolved spontaneously within 3~5 days.No other adverse reactions were observed in other patients.Conclusions:(1)Dong’s Extraordinary Points and ordinary acupuncture are effective methods for the treatment of abdominal obesity,and there is no significant difference in clinical efficacy between them.(2)Dong’s Extraordinary Points is better than ordinary acupuncture in reducing waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio.(3)Dong’s Extraordinary Points has the same clinical efficacy as ordinary acupuncture in improving body weight、BMI、hip circumference and clinical symptoms.
