The Clinical Observation Of Electro-acupuncture Combined With Computerized Intermediate-frequency In The Treatment Of Simple Obesity

ObjectiveThe paper aims was to observe the clinical efficacy of electro-acupuncture coordinated with computerized intermediate-frequency on the treatment of simple obesity. As to explore the mechanism for the treatment of simple obesity. And to provide the theoretical basis for optimal scheme of the treatment of this disease.Methods78 study subjects were all from Feng Huang acupuncture clinic patients in Hubei Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. According to the symptoms, signs, examination, relevant medical history and diagnostic criteria for a diagnosis of simple obesity. The patients randomly divided into the control group(the conventional intervention group), the treatment group A(the conventional intervention plus electric acupuncture group), the treatment group B (the conventional intervention plus electrical acupuncture and intermediate frequency group).Each group has 26 patients. The control group had diet and exercise. The treatment group A added EA on the basis of the control group. The main points were Zhongwan(RN 12)(Unilateral),Shuifen(RN 9) (Unilateral),Qihai(RN 6) (Unilateral),Tianshu (ST 25) (Bilateral),Daimai (GB 26) (Bilateral),Daheng(SP 15)(Bilateral), Zhigou(SJ 6)(Bilateral), Zusanli(ST 35)(Bilateral), Fenglong(ST 40)(Bilateral), Yinlingquan(SP 9)(Bilateral).The acupuncture needles enter into the abdominal fat layer to the degree. Then use two pairs of EA. Other points regular acupuncture for 30 minutes. In group B, to add IF treatment for 15 minutes based on the treatment of the group A. The control group observed 2 months. In treatment group, once a day for the previous 3 days, then every other day,10 days for a course of treatment. After 3courses,to observe the changes of indicators, such as body weight, BMI, F%. To analyze and compare the clinical efficacy of treatment.Results1. After 3 courses, the total effective rate was 53.85% in the control group,80.77% in treatment group A and 88.46% in treatment group B. There had significant effect by compared three groups(P<0.01). The type of Stomach heat and dampness has the best effect which the effective rate was 89.29%,And the worst effects types was Yin deficiency heat which the effective rate was 25%.2. Weight of the three groups after treatment were decreased (P<0.05), but the efficacy of two treatment groups were better than the control group (P<0.01).There was no significant difference between the two treatment group(P>0.05).3. The reduced of BMI was not significant in the control group(P>0.05).The 2 treatment groups were significantly reduced on the value of BMI(P<0.01). And the efficacy of two treatment groups were better than the control group. But the 2 treatment groups has no significant difference(P>0.05).4. The F% in control group after treatment has no significant reduction(P>0.05). The two treatment groups in the value of F% were reduced (P<0.05). Besides, the efficacy of two treatment groups were better than the control group (P<0.05). And the treatment B was down more than the treatment A (P<0.05).ConclusionThe method of EA combined with IF has a good clinical efficacy for the treatment of simple obesity. Besides, this method is convenient and green economy, worthy of Clinical application promotion. It can be used as a optimization program for the treatment of simple obesity.
