Objective To study the effect of"invigorating spleen and stomach via leading Qi to its orign"acupuncture method in the treatment of simple obesity with spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction syndrome and its influence on insulin resistance.Methods A total of 80 patients with simple obesity with spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction syndrome admitted in our hospital from October 2021 to November 2022 were selected as the research objects and divided into control group(n=40)and observation group(n=40)according to the random number table method.The control group was treated with metformin hydrochloride,and the observation group was treated with"invigorating spleen and stomach via leading Qi to its orign"acupuncture method.The clinical efficacy,clinical indicators,TCM syndrome scores,blood glucose indicators,inflammatory factors and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results The total effective rate of treatment in the observation group was 95.00%,which was higher than 80.00%in the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,the body weight,body mass index(BMI),waist-to-hip ratio,fat content and TCM syndrome score of the observation group were lower than those of the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,the levels of fasting blood glucose(FBG),fasting insulin(FINS),interleukin-6(IL-6)and homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance(HOMA-IR)in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the total incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion The"invigorating spleen and stomach via leading Qi to its orign"acupuncture method has a significant effect on the treatment of simple obesity patients with spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction syndrome,which can enhance the effect of weight loss,improve blood glucose level and insulin resistance,reduce inflammation,and has high safety.
