Abstract

[Objective] To retrospectively analyze the clinical efficacy and safety of acupoint catgut embedding therapy in treating overweight/obesity. [Methods] A total of 48 overweight/obese patients were treated with acupoint catgut embedding. Changes in body weight and body mass index (BMI) before and after treatment were observed, and intraoperative/postoperative adverse reactions were recorded. [Results] Both the effective rate and marked effectiveness of the acupoint catgut embedding therapy rate were favorable. [Conclusion] Acupoint catgut embedding therapy is safe and effective for treating overweight/obesity.
