Abstract
To observe the efficacy of electroacupuncture on glycometabolism disturbance in metabolism syndrome.With matched-pairs design, 80 patients meeting with the diagnostic criteria for glycometabolism abnormalities were randomized into the group combining acupuncture and medication (group A) and the western medicine group (group B), and 40 patients were included in each group. Electroacupuncture was carried out on back-shu points, Zusanl ( ST 36), Zhongwăn ( CV 12), Sanyinjiao ( SP 6) and other acupoints for group A, needles were retained for 20 min except back-shu points, once a day, continuous ten times as a treatment course, the next treatment course was started after an interval for 3–5 days, and totally 3 treatment courses were carried out; furthermore, the patients were orally administered with Glucotrol XL and felodipine, 5 mg each, once a day. The patients in group B were treated simply with drugs (the medication was the same to that for the group A). Body mass index (BMI), related biochemical indices and blood pressure of the patients were measured before and after the intervention, respectively.
