Objective.
Acupuncture, as one of the complementary and alternative medicines, represents an efficient therapeutic option for obesity control.
We conducted a meta-analysis to investigate the effectiveness of acupuncture in obesity and also summarized the available studies on exploring the mechanisms.
Design.
We searched six databases from the inception to April 2017 without language restriction.
Eligible studies consisted of acupuncture with comparative controls ((1) sham acupuncture, (2) no treatment, (3) diet and exercise, and (4) conventional medicine).
The primary outcomes consisted of BMI, body weight reduction, and incidence of cardiovascular events (CVD).
Secondary outcomes included waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), body fat mass percent, body fat mass (kg), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), glucose, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) reduction, high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) increase, and adverse effects.
The quality of RCTs was assessed by the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool.
Subgroup analyses were performed according to types of acupuncture.
A random effects model was used to adjust for the heterogeneity of the included studies.
Publication bias was assessed using funnel plots.
Main Results.
We included 21 studies with 1389 participants.
When compared with sham acupuncture, significant reductions in BMI (MD=-1.22, 95%CI=-1.87 to -0.56), weight (MD=-1.54, 95%CI=-2.98 to -0.11), body fat mass (kg) (MD=-1.31, 95%CI=-2.47 to -0.16), and TC (SMD=-0.63, 95%CI=-1.00 to -0.25) were found.
When compared with no treatment group, significant reductions of BMI (MD=-1.92, 95%CI=-3.04 to -0.79), WHR (MD=-0.05, 95%CI=-0.09 to -0.02), TC (MD=-0.26, 95%CI=-0.48 to -0.03), and TG (MD=-0.29 95%CI=-0.39 to -0.18) were found.
When compared with diet and exercise group, significant reduction in BMI (MD=-1.24, 95%CI=-1.87 to -0.62) and weight (MD=-3.27 95%CI=-5.07 to -1.47) was found.
Adverse effects were reported in 5 studies.
Conclusions.
We concluded that acupuncture is an effective treatment for obesity and inferred that neuroendocrine regulation might be involved.
