Clinical observation of point catgut-embedding combined with cupping in treating simple obesity due to stomach heat and dampness obstruction
摘要
Abstract
Objective:To observe the therapeutic efficacy of point catgut-embedding therapy combined with cupping therapy in treating simple obesity due to stomach heat and dampness obstruction,as well as its effects on Chinese medicine symptoms,obesity indicators,and blood lipid parameters. Methods:A total of 135 cases with simple obesity due to stomach heat and dampness obstruction were allocated into an embedding group,a cupping group,and a combined group using the random number table method,with 45 cases in each group.The embedding group received point catgut-embedding therapy alone,the cupping group was treated with cupping therapy alone,while the combined group underwent both embedding therapy and cupping therapy.The same points were used in the three groups.The treatment was performed once daily,and consecutive 28-day treatment was taken as 1 treatment course.The therapeutic efficacy was evaluated,and the changes in the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)symptom score,obesity indicators[body mass(BM),body mass index(BMI),body fat percentage(BFP),waist circumference,and waist-to-hip ratio],and blood lipid parameters[triglyceride(TG)and total cholesterol(TC)]were observed after 3 consecutive courses. Results:After 3-course treatment,the total effective rate in the combined group was 93.3%,higher than 82.2%in the embedding group and 73.3%in the cupping group(P<0.05),and the total effective rate of the embedding group was higher than that of the cupping group(P<0.05).Compared to those before treatment,the TCM symptom score,obesity indicators,and blood lipid parameters reduced significantly in the three groups(P<0.05 or P<0.01),and indicators in the combined group were lower than those in the other two groups(P<0.05). Conclusion:The synergistic application of point catgut-embedding therapy and cupping therapy can improve TCM symptoms,obesity-related indicators,and blood lipid parameters of patients with simple obesity due to stomach heat and dampness obstruction;compared to the use of either point catgut-embedding therapy or cupping therapy alone,the combined application of the two therapies shows a more significant therapeutic effect.关键词
