Different frequency of acupoint thread-embedding for overweight/obesity of spleen deficiency and dampness retention: a randomized controlled trial
To compare the effect of different frequency of acupoint thread-embedding on weight loss in subjects with overweight/obesity of spleen deficiency and dampness retention.
Methods
2
A total of 126 subjects with overweight/obesity of spleen deficiency and dampness retention were randomized into a 2-week group(63 cases,13 cases dropped out)and a 3-week group(63 cases,11 cases dropped out,1 case was eliminated). The two groups were treated with acupoint thread-embedding once every 2 weeks and once every 3 weeks respectively,Zhongwan(CV 12),Shuifen(CV 9),Qihai(CV 6),Guanyuan(CV 4) and bilateral Zhangmen(LR 13),Tianshu(ST 25),Liangmen(ST 21),Daheng(SP 15),Fujie(SP 14),Pishu(BL 20),Yinlingquan(SP 9)were selected. Four times were required in the two groups. Before and after treatment, follow-up after 2 months of treatment completion, the body mass index(BMI), body weight, waist circumference,hip circumference,waist-to-hip ratio,obesity degree,fat percentage(F%),skin fold thickness were observed in the two groups.
Results
2
After treatment and in follow-up,the BMI
, body weight, waist circumference, hip circumference, waist-to-hip ratio,obesity degree,F%,skin fold thickness in the two groups were decreased compared with those before treatment (
P
<
0.001,
P
<
0.01),the changes of BMI,body weight, obesity degree, F%, skin fold thickness in the 2-week group were larger than those in the 3-week group(
P
<
0.05,
P
<
0.01,
P
<
0.001).
Conclusion
2
The effect of acupoint thread-embedding once every 2 weeks on weight loss in subjects with overweight/obesity of spleen deficiency and dampness retention is superior to that once every 3 weeks.
