전기와 자기장 복합 침 자극을 활용한 복부비만 치료 6례에 대한 증례 보고 = A Report on 6 cases of Abdominal Obesity using Electroacupuncture Combined with Magnetic Acupuncture

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Objectives: This study was aimed to show the effect of electroacupuncture combined with mag- netic acupuncture on abdominal obesity without patient dieting, exercise or use of herbal medication.
Methods: Women over 85 cm in waist circumference were treated with electroacupuncture com- bined with magnetic acupuncture. Acupuncture points were located at the abdomen (CV12, CV6, ST25, ST21, SP15, SP14), extremities (LI4, LI11, ST36, ST44) and were stimulated 30 minutes with 2.1~3 Gaus, 500 Hz, tolerable strength. The Interference wave forms were by Whata 153 (Medi Lab, Korea). Two or three treatment sessions per week (five or ten sessions in total) were done.
Before treatment, and after the last treatment, we measured waist circumference, hip circum- ference, waist hip ratio, thickness of abdominal subcutaneous fat, body weight, body mass index, body fat ratio, visceral fat area, free fat mass, body fat mass and skeletal muscle mass. We also measured the subcutaneous temperature of the abdomen(CV12, ST25(Rt), ST25(Lt), CV6) by using digital infrared thermal imaging(DITI).
Results: In this study, significant reductions were shown in waist circumference, hip circumfer- ence, thickness of abdominal subcutaneous fat, body weight, body mass index, body fat ratio and body fat mass. There were no significant differences in waist hip ratio, free fat mass or skeletal muscle mass.
There were also significant increases of the subcutaneous temperature on CV12, ST25(Rt), ST25(Lt).
Conclusions: From the above results, electroacupuncture combined with magnetic acupuncture might be an effective treatment for abdominal obesity.
