Acupotomy: A Promising Treatment for Simple Obesity

This study explores the potential of acupotomy, a traditional Chinese medicine technique involving making small incisions at specific acupoints, in treating simple obesity. The study compared the efficacy of acupotomy to electroacupuncture and acupuncture in a randomized clinical trial involving 105 participants. The results showed that acupotomy was significantly more effective in reducing body weight, body mass index (BMI), and obesity degree compared to the other two treatment groups. The study concluded that acupotomy is a promising treatment option for simple obesity, offering a potentially effective alternative to conventional weight loss methods.
