Objective
- Many overweight people are aware that
diets can help with weight loss but have
difficulty in suppressing their appetite.
Acupuncture stimulates the auricular branch of
the Vagal nerve and raises serotonin levels, both
of which have been shown to increase tone in the
smooth muscle of the stomach, thus suppressing
appetite.
The aim of this study was to determine the
effectiveness of transcutaneous electrical nerve
stimulation of specific auricular acupuncture
points on appetite suppression.
Methods - Sixty overweight
subjects, randomly divided into an active and a
control group, used the AcuSlim device twice
daily for four weeks. The active group attached
the AcuSlim to the acupuncture ear points Shenmen
and stomach, whereas the control group attached
the device to their thumb where there are no
acupuncture points. The goal of a 2kg weight loss
was set and changes in appetite and weight were
reported for four weeks.
Results - Of those who responded,
95% of the active group noticed suppression of
appetite, whereas none of the control group
noticed such a change. None of the control group
lost the required 2kg, with only four subjects
losing any weight at all. Both the number of
subjects who lost weight and the mean weight loss
were significantly higher in the active group.
Conclusion - Frequent
stimulation of specific auricular acupuncture
points is an effective method of appetite
suppression, which leads to weight loss.
