Study on the effect of combination of warming acupuncture and moxibustion and acupoint catgut embedding on child obesity
Objective To analyze the effect of combination of warming acupuncture and moxibustion and acupoint catgut embedding on child obesity.Methods 82 obese children were selected and randomly divided into a study group(n=41)and a control group(n=41).The control group was treated with warming acupuncture and moxibustion,and the study group was treated with acupoint catgut embedding.The therapeutic effects,lipid levels and occurrence of adverse events were compared between the two groups.Results The total effective rate of 95.12%in the study group was significantly higher than 78.05%in the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,the study group had low density lipoprotein cholesterol of(2.85±0.52)mmol/L,total cholesterol of(4.65±0.49)mmol/L and triglyceride of(1.00±0.60)mmol/L,which were lower than(3.26±0.49),(5.20±0.50)and(1.28±0.46)mmol/L in the control group;the study group had higher high density lipoprotein cholesterol of(1.36±0.35)mmol/L than(1.09±0.30)mmol/L in the control group(P<0.05).There was no difference in the incidence of adverse events between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion The combination of warming acupuncture and moxibustion and acupoint catgut embedding has a significant effect on the treatment of child obesity,and it can effectively regulate the lipid index,and has high safety,which contains clinical promotion value.
