Weight Management
1. Acupuncture therapy of constitution-exogenous obesity in children, May 1993, Gadzhiev A.A., Mugarab-Samedi V.V., Isaev I.I., Rafieva S.K., Probl Endokrinol.
Overview: Electroacupuncture was found to have a beneficial effect on various pathogenetic components of this patient population, which was confirmed by cessation of subjective complaints, body mass reduction and decrease of fatty tissue content, increased performance abilities, recovery of cardiovascular function, and normalization of blood serum lipids.
Conclusion: The data recommends acupuncture for comprehensive treatment of children with constitutional exogenic obesity.
2. Effect of acupuncture on weight loss evaluated by adrenal function, September 1993, Liu Z., Sun F., Li J., Wang Y., Hu K., Nanjing College of TCM.
Objective: In order to understand the relationship between patients’ adrenal function and simple obesity and effect of acupuncture on it, the obesity indices, lipid indices, fasting blood-glucose, noradrenaline, dopamine, adrenalin and cortisol were observed.
Conclusion: The results indicated that patients with simple obesity had hypofunction of the sympathetic-adrenal system and the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal system. Acupuncture treatment not only affected weight loss but also enhanced functioning of the two systems, suggesting that the effect of acupuncture on weight loss may be produced by enhancing the functions of both the sympathetic-adrenal system and the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal system.
3. Overeating: Treatment of Obesity and Anxiety by Auricular Acupuncture, an Analysis of 800 Cases, November 1996, A. Apostolopoulos, M. Karavi, Acupuncture in Medicine.
Objective: To describe the efficacy of acupuncture in the management of obesity when administered in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
Conclusion: The control of overeating and anxiety using auricular acupuncture at the stomach and Shenmen points in this audit has been beneficial. Its correct use in an integrated obesity control programme may prove of significant long term help.
4. Stimulation of auricular acupuncture points in weight loss, July 1998, Richards D., Marley J., Department of General Practice, University of Adelaide, South Australia.
Objective: Acupuncture stimulates the auricular branch of the vagal nerve and raises serotonin levels, both of which have been shown to increase tone in the smooth muscle of the stomach, thus suppressing appetite. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation of specific auricular acupuncture points on appetite suppression.
Conclusion: Frequent stimulation of specific auricular acupuncture points is an effective method of appetite suppression which leads to weight loss.
5. The time-effect relationship of central action in acupuncture treatment for weight reduction, March 2000, Zhao M., Liu Z., Su J., Second Clinical College of Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Pharmacy.
Objective: To study the time-effect relationship of action of acupuncture on the satiety center of ventromedial nucleus of hypothalamus (VMH) in rats with experimental obesity.
Conclusion: Acupuncture can increase excitability of the satiety center, with a better long-term effect.
6. Acupuncture And Obesity - Abraham C. Kuruvilla, MD, January 2003, Medical Acupuncture, Vol 14 #2.
Objective: To describe the efficacy of acupuncture in the management of obesity when administered in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
Conclusion: Our findings indicate that ear acupuncture at designated points, in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity, is effective in treating obesity.
