To compare the therapeutic effects of acupuncture combined with diet adjustment and aerobic exercise and simple diet adjustment combined with aerobic exercise for treatment of simple obesity, in order to scientifically evaluate the therapeutic effect of acupuncture combined with diet adjustment and aerobic exercise for simple obesity.
Sixty-one cases were randomly divided into an observation group (31 cases) and a control group (30 cases). The control group was treated with diet adjustment combined with aerobic exercise, on the basis of this, the observation group was treated with acupuncture at Zhongwan (CV 12), Tianshu (ST 25), Guanyuan (CV 4), Zusanli (ST 36), Fenglong (ST 40) and Yinlingquan (SP 9) etc., once a day, 15 days constituting one course. After three course of treatment, the changes of body weight and waist-hip ratio (WHR) in both groups were observed before and after treatment.
After one course of treatment, both the body weight and WHR in the observation group were obviously lower than those of control group (both P < 0.05); after two courses of treatment, there were no significant differences of body weight and WHR between two groups (both P > 0.05); after three courses of treatment, the body weight of observation group was obviously lower than that of control group (P < 0.05), there was no significant difference of WHR between two groups (P > 0.05); the body weight and WHR of both groups were obviously decreased after treatment (both P < 0.01); the difference comparison of the body weight in observation group was obviously higher than that of control group before and after treatment (P < 0.01).
Both two treatments can decrease the body weight and WHR of patients with simple obesity, while the effect of acupuncture combined with diet adjustment and aerobic exercise is more obvious in the early stage of the treatment for body weight and WHR.
比较针刺联合饮食调整及有氧运动与单纯饮食调整联合有氧运动治疗单纯性肥胖症的疗效，以科学评价针刺联合饮食调整及有氧运动治疗单纯性肥胖症的效果。
将61例患者随机分为观察组（31例）和对照组（30例）。对照组采用饮食调整联合有氧运动治疗，在此基础上，观察组加用针刺中脘（CV 12）、天枢（ST 25）、关元（CV 4）、足三里（ST 36）、丰隆（ST 40）、阴陵泉（SP 9）等穴位，每日1次，15天为1个疗程。治疗3个疗程后，观察两组治疗前后体重及腰臀比（WHR）的变化。
治疗1个疗程后，观察组体重及WHR均明显低于对照组（均P < 0.05）；治疗2个疗程后，两组体重及WHR比较差异无统计学意义（均P > 0.05）；治疗3个疗程后，观察组体重明显低于对照组（P < 0.05），两组WHR比较差异无统计学意义（P > 0.05）；两组治疗后体重及WHR均明显下降（均P < 0.01）；观察组治疗前后体重差值比较明显高于对照组（P < 0.01）。
两种治疗方法均能降低单纯性肥胖症患者的体重及WHR，而针刺联合饮食调整及有氧运动在治疗早期对体重及WHR的影响更明显。
