Treatment of Overweight/Obesity with Combined Acupuncture and Medication Based on the "Constitution-Disease-Syndrome Differentiation" Diagnosis and Treatment Model
The "constitution-disease-syndrome differentiation" diagnosis and treatment model is a traditional Chinese medicine diagnostic system established on the basis of constitution theory. The pathogenesis of overweight/obesity is rooted in spleen-stomach weakness and
yang
qi
decline, with phlegm-dampness accumulation as the superficial manifestation. In clinic, the application of this model for treating overweight/obesity follows three key steps. Firstly, constitution differentiation, whereby lifestyle intervention plans are formulated tailored to individual constitutions. Secondly, disease differentiation by adopting combined acupuncture and medication therapy, with self-prescribed

(调脂减肥方) combined with needling for regulating incretion, then modification according to comorbidities. Thirdly, syndrome differentiation by classifying overweight/obesity into four patterns, spleen deficiency with dampness obstruction, excessive heat in the stomach and intestines, liver stagnation and
qi
stagnation, and spleen-kidney yang deficiency, then adjusting medications or selecting acupoints based on syndrome differentiation to achieve precise treatment through targeted prescriptions and acupoint combinations.
