Abstract
To compare the therapeutic effect on simple obesity of gastrointestinal heat type between electroacupuncture (EA) and conventional acupuncture (CA). Methods: Ninety cases of simple obesity of gastrointestinal heat type were randomized into an EA group and a CA group, 45 cases in each one. In the EA group, CA was applied at Netting ( ST 44), Shangjuxu ( ST 37), Xiajuxu ( ST 39), Fenglong ( ST 40), Tianshu ( ST 25), Zusanl□ ( ST 36), Yinlingquan ( SP 9) and Quchi ( LI 11). The electric Stimulation was attached at ST 37, ST 44, ST 25 and ST 40. In CA group, the simple acupuncture was applied at the same points as the EA group. The treatment was given once every two days, 12 treatments made one session and 3 sessions were required totally in the two groups. The changes in body mass, obesity degree, body mass index (BMI) and body fat percentage (F%) were observed in the patients before and after treatment. The therapeutic effects on weight loss and fat loss were compared between the two groups.
