The Clinical Observation On Simple Obesity In Stomach-heat And Dampness-stagnation Type Treated By Electro-Acupuncture Combined With Aerobic Exercise And Dietary Intervention

Objective By observing the curative effect of electric acupuncture combined with aerobic exercise and dietary interventions for patients with simple obesity, To make a scientific evaluation on the effect of reducing weight of that treatment plan, and provide the treatment basis for the clinical application.Methods We gathered 64 cases of obesity patients who are consistent with the inclusion criteria in the acupuncture clinic of Chinese Medicine Hospital of Hubei Province,and we divided them into control group and treat group by the random number table.Because of unpredictable reasons,we have collected 61 cases with complete data in the end.The control group has 30 cases,then the treat group has 31 cases.The treatment of control group : ? : diet interventions:refer to the dietary guidelines of Chinese Residents,we changed the formations and proportion of the dietary of the patients. ? :Aerobic exercise: the patients take the jogging or brisk walking as the aerobic exercise for at least 30 minutes everyday.The treat group take electric-acupuncture on the basis of the control group.We choose the acupoints of guanyuan,tianshu,zhongwan, shuidao, daheng and so on. After Deqi, we connect the electric-equipment to the acupoints for 30 minutes,1 time per day,15timestreatments as a course. Each courses the patients have one day to rest,the treatments have 3 courses.After all the treatments,we collected and analyzed the changes of obesity data of every patients by SPSS 19.0.Results:(1)The comparison of weight, BMI and fat% in the two groups after treatment: both EA groups(P<0.01) and control group(P<0.05) can significantly lower body weight, BMI and body fat rate of patients, and electro-acupuncture group is better than control group.(2)The comparison of waist circumference, hip circumference, and WHR in two groups after treatments: both EA groups(P<0.01) and control group(P<0.05) can effectively reduce the waist circumference, hip circumference,and waist to hip ratio of patients, and EA group was superior effect to control group(P<0.05) in waist circumference, hip circumference, and WHR.(3)The comparison of upper arm circumference and femoral circumference in two groups after treatments: upper arm circumference and femoral circumference of patients of two groups after treatments had no significant difference(P>0.05) between those before treatments, which show that two groups have no obvious effect to reduce upper arm circumference and femoral circumference of patients.(4)The comparison of clinical curative effect in two groups: the total effective rate of EA group was 87.10% and the control group was 70%. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant, which showedthat the total effect of the EA group was better than that of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusions:1. Electro-acupuncture combined with exercise and dietary intervention are used to reduce body weight, BMI, body F% rate, waist circumference, hip circumference and waist to hip of simple obesity patients in stomach-heat and dampness-stagnation type, which is significantly better than the control group in overall efficacy.2. The results showed that electro-acupuncture combined with aerobic exercise and dietary intervention is a clinical effect method of weight loss, which is simple and easy to use, so it is worth to clinical application.
