Abstract

This study reports the clinical effects of Korean medicine treatments, herbal medicine, modified fasting, and space spinal conduction exercise and manipulation (SSCEM) on adolescent obesity patient. A 16-year-old male with a body mass index (BMI) 35.5 kg/m2 was diagnosed with class III obesity. We prescribed herbal medicine and modified fasting alternately three times over a period of five months. Additionally, Korean medicine treatments and SSCEM were performed during the treatment period. After treatment, there was a decrease in body weight by 19.86%, from 115.8 kg to 92.8 kg, BMI from 35.5 kg/m2 to 28.6 kg/m2, and body fat mass from 38.1 kg to 17.0 kg. The results of this study showed that Korean medicine treatments, herbal medicine, modified fasting, and SSCEM could be useful in influencing changes in body composition among obese adolescents.
