[Treatment of simple obesity in children with photo-acupuncture]
1Department of Pediatrics, Third Teaching Hospital of Norman Bethune University of Medical Sciences, Changchun 130021.
Objective:
To study the treatment of simple obesity in children and observe its effect.
Methods:
Two hundred and two patients were treated with self-produced photo-acupuncture apparatus (101 cases) or ear-pressing (101 cases), and their effects were observed and compared.
Results:
Effects of both methods were satisfactory. The photo-acupuncture showed a better result than that of the ear-pressing. After treatment, the obesity indexes lowered significantly and levels of blood lipids, glucose, cortisol and triiodothyronine were all improved markedly.
Conclusions:
Photo-acupuncture is a safe, painless, nontraumatic and effective method for treatment of simple obesity, and it is easy to be accepted by children.
