총 5예의 부분 비만 환자 중, 복부비만 3예, 허벅지 및 종아리 부분 비만 각 1예의 환자를 대상으로 2종의 약침요법 및 매선요법을 병행하여 2주 간격으로 3회 시술하였다. 그 결과, 치료부의 둘레 감소를 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과를 바탕으로, 향후 더 많은 환자를 대상으로 하여 약침 및 매선요법의 부분 비만 효과에 대한 보다 구체적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of pharmacopuncture combined thread implantation therapy for treating localized obesity. The study was conducted on 3 subjects with abdominal localized fat, 1 subject with thigh and 1 subject with calf localized fat. We practiced two kinds of pharmacopunture, which were cultivated wild ginseng and contacting Ephedra sinica pharmacopuncture. In addition, we practiced thread implantation to 20 points on muscle membrane layer. We performed these treatments once in 2 weeks, totally for 3 times. After treatments, abdominal circumference and waist-hip ratio were reduced by 4.6 % and 0.13, respectively. In addition, circumferences of thigh and calf were reduced by 5.8 % and 4%. We supposed that this combined therapy could be useful to deal with localized fat deposit. Long-term evaluation and further studies are required to identify effect size of this therapy.
