Acupuncture in the Regulation of Dai Meridian for the Metabolism of Visceral Adipose Tissue in Abdominal Obese Patients

Metabolic Syndrome Clinical Trial

Official title:
A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial of Acupuncture on Regulating Dai Meridian for Visceral Fat Metabolism in Abdominal Obesity.

Clinical Trial Summary

To evaluate the effectiveness of acupuncture therapy combined with healthy education for patients with abdominal obesity.

Clinical Trial Description

This subject is a prospective, single-blind, parallel-group, randomized controlled clinical trial.120 patients with abdominal obesity are allocated into two groups with a ratio of 2:1.Randomized series was generated by computer.

The treatment in both intervention group and control group lasts for 8 weeks. Comparison of two groups of patients with abdominal fat thickness, fasting serum visfatin concentration, simple anthropometric parameters (including body weight, body mass index, waist circumference, hip circumference, waist-to-hip radio, waist-to-height radio, the percentage of body fat), fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin, glycosylated hemoglobin, fasting blood lipid (total cholesterol, triglyceride, high density lipoprotein, low density lipoprotein), uric acid, blood pressure, insulin resistance level, and obesity related lifestyle survey. ;
