Abstract EN
In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of acupuncture in the treatment of obesity by a computational framework integrating randomized controlled trials published in China and abroad.
Specifically, clinical trial documents published on CNKI, VIP, Wanfang, PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library from 2007-2017 were downloaded and analyzed using Stata 15.1 system.
As a result, a total of 13 articles were imported and 1052 patients were included.
The analyses showed that the overall effect of an acupuncture group and a control group was not significant with P>0.01.
However, the curative effect of the acupuncture group was better than that of the diet and exercise instruction group with P<0.01; the curative effect of the acupuncture group was better than that of the oral Chinese and western medicine group with P<0.01.
In conclusion, acupuncture as a complementary alternative therapy is recommended for the treatment of obesity.
