Clinical Study Of Acupuncture Treatment Of Obesity With CM3

Objective This study is a comparative study on the therapy of the obesityThe objective of this study to compare the effectiveness of acupuncture with CM3.The study compares the success of disease treatment via a Western medical therapy versus a treatment with acupuncture.It is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have a negative effect on health.The assumption is to prove that acupuncture is clearly more effective in the results.Methods In this study,the impact of acupuncture is compared with that of a Western CM3 treatment,based on 60 patients with the obesity.All patients have been diagnosed with sobesity according to guildlines.The patients are randomly divided in two groups.The duration of the treatments for the study is six months,i.e.the acupuncture group receive 3 acupuncture treatments per week with the points of tianshu,gongsun,fenglong,daheng,yinlingquna,neiting,zhongwan,shuifen and fujie whereas the comparison group is given the CM3.All the patients have undergone a complete diagnosis according to guildlines.All patients are given BMI,the abdominal circumference and the lactate,the blood pressure,the heart frequency,fasting glucose,the cholesterol and the triglycerides.The patients of both groups are fully co-operative with the respective therapeutic concepts.Results After a study duration,clear/obvious results obtained in both therapy groups are proven by diagnostic examinations.After a 6-months period of therapy,(1)Weight:There was significant difference between the two groups after acupuncture treatment(P<0.001).There was significant difference between the two groups after treatment(P<0.001).(2)BMI index:the two groups were reduced,acupuncture group after treatment compared with before treatment,the difference was significant(P<0.001).There were significant differences between the two groups after treatment(P<0.001).(3)Abdominal circumference:There were significant differences between the two groups after acupuncture treatment and before treatment(P<0.001).There was no significant difference between the two groups after treatment(P>0.05).(4)The lactic acid content decreased in the two groups,and the difference was significant in the acupuncture group before and after treatment(P<0.001).There was no significant difference between the two groups after treatment(P>0.05).(5)Fasting blood glucose:the two groups were reduced,acupuncture group after treatment compared with before treatment,the difference was significant(P<0.001).There was significant difference between the two groups(P<0.001).(6)Cholesterol content:the two groups were reduced,acupuncture group after treatment compared with before treatment,the difference was significant(P<0.001).There were significant differences between the two groups after treatment(P<0.001).(7)The triglycerides decreased in the two groups,and the difference was significant in the acupuncture group before and after treatment(P<0.001).There was no significant difference between the two groups after treatment(P = 0.067).Conclusion Clear reduction of obesity parameters as well as the parameters of the metabolic syndrome as an obesity-associated disease are showed under acupuncture.Despite lacking significance,acupuncture treatment is preferable to treatment with the CM3(?)-alginate in obesity.
