Individuals with emotional disorders have an increased risk of obesity,and vice versa.This bidirectional relationship may share a common pathophysiological basis,that is the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal(HPA)axis and inflammatory changes.As a non-pharmacological therapy,acupuncture has unique advantages in treating emotional disorders and obesity.This may be related to its ability to regulate the HPA axis,alter the body's stress state,modulate pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines,and improve peripheral-central inflammatory responses.This study aims to explore the potential mechanisms of acupuncture in treating emotional disorders with obesity from these perspectives,providing new insights for developing clinical strategies.
