Abstract

The aim of this review was to determine the status of acupuncture therapies in reducing obesity in obese patients and to determine the scheme and effectiveness of acupuncture therapies. Existing reports published between January 1, 2003 and December 31, 2017 in Kiss, Riss, National Assembly Library, Pubmed and CINAHL databases were searched electronically with the keywords obesity, acupuncture, auricular acupuncture, and electroacupuncture. After checking the original sources of the articles, 19 articles were included in the review. In a qualitative evaluation of the papers using a checklist from the Scottish Intercollegiate Guideline Network, one study scored 9 out of 10 points, 15 studies scored 7-8 out of 10 points, two studies scored 6 out of 10 points, and one study scored 3 out of 10 points. In the acupuncture therapy schemes, acupoints to reduce obesity included shemen, hunger, LI-11 (Quchi), LI-4 (Hegu), St-25 (Tianshu) and St-44 (Neiting). Acupuncture therapies were conducted for an average of 16.9 total sessions. In the studies that involved 20-day or 72-day duration for acupuncture therapies, the frequency of acupuncture therapies was 1 time/1-2 days. In the studies that involved 4- to 18-week duration for acupuncture therapies, the frequency of acupuncture therapies was 1-3 times/week. This study found acupuncture therapies were effective in reducing obesity, and acupuncture therapies reduced anthropometry, blood glucose and lipids and changed blood hormones. In the future, there is an urgent need for well-planned studies of the effectiveness of acupuncture therapies for reducing obesity in obese patients.

본 연구의 목적은 비만환자의 비만을 감소시키기 위한 침술요법의 현황을 파악하고 침술요법의 내용과 효과를 파악하는 것이다. 문헌검색은 '비만', '침', '이침', '전기침' 등을 검색어로 하여 한국학술정보, 한국교육학술정보원, 국회도서관, Pubmed, CINAHL 등을 통해 2003년 1월부터 2017년 12월까지 발표된 연구논문을 검색하였다. 연구자가 원본을 확인한 후, 선정한 19편의 논문을 최종 분석 하였다. Scottish Intercollegiate Guideline Network의 체크리스트로 논문의 질적 평가를 실시한 결과 10점 만점에 9점인 연구가 1편, 10점 만점에 7-8점인 연구가 15편, 10점 만점에 6점인 연구가 2편, 10점 만점에 3점인 연구가 1편이었다. 침술요법의 내용을 파악한 결과 비만을 감소시키기 위한 경혈점은 shemen, hunger, LI-11(Quchi), LI-4(Hegu), St-25(Tianshu), St-44(Neiting) 등이었다. 침술요법 총 시행 횟수는 평균 16.9회이었고, 침술요법 중재 기간이 20일 혹은 72일인 연구에서의 침술요법 중재 빈도는 1회/1-2일이었고, 침술요법 중재 기간이 4-18주인 연구에서의 침술요법 중재빈도는 1-3회/주이었다. 분석한 연구결과에 의하면 침술요법은 신체계측수치의 감소, 혈당 및 혈중 지질 농도의 감소, 혈중호르몬 변화 등을 일으켜 비만환자의 비만을 감소시키는 효과가 있었다. 향후 비만환자의 비만감소를 위한 침술요법의 효과성을 평가하기 위해 잘 설계된 연구가 시급히 필요하다.
