Abstract:
Sixty cases of simple obesity of stomach-intestine excessive heat type were randomly divided into acupuncture-Tuina groupand single acupuncture group, 30 cases in each group, and were given acupuncture-Tuina and single acupuncture respectively. The clinical effects of two groups were analyzed and compared by obesity and fat indexes before and after treatment. The total effective rates in acupuncture-Tuina and simple acupuncture group were 90.0% and 73.3% respectively.
