Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of acupoint catgut embedding combined with abdominal massage in the treatment of female abdominal obesity with spleen deficiency and dampness. Methods A total of 300 female abdominal obesity patients who met the inclusion criteria were divided into observation group (200 cases) and control group (100 cases) according to the ratio of 2:1 by random number table. The control group was treated with abdominal massage, while the observation group was treated with acupoint catgut embedding on the basis of the control group. The changes of body weight, waist circumference, waist-hip ratio, BMI, FPG, TC and TG levels before and after treatment were compared between the two groups, and the clinical efficacy was evaluated. Results After treatment, the body weight, waist circumference, waist-hip ratio and BMI of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group (t values were 10.869, 6.058, 2.941, 21.267, P<0.01 or P<0.05), and the serum levels of FPG, TC and TG were significantly lower than those of the control group (t values were 21.147, 18.325, 19.931, P<0.01). The total effective rate was 91.5％ (183/200) in the observation group and 65.0％ (65/100) in the control group. There was significant difference between the two groups (χ2=32.671, P<0.001). Conclusions Acupoint catgut embedding combined with abdominal massage can improve the obesity index and blood lipid level of women with abdominal obesity, and the curative effect is better than that of abdominal massage alone.
