Abstract
Introducción: la obesidad es una de origen multifactorial caracterizada por acumulación excesiva de grasa o hipertrofia general del tejido adiposo en el cuerpo; factor de riesgo conocido para múltiples enfermedades, con repercusión estética y social. Objetivo: obtener el peso ideal en pacientes obesos mediante la combinación de dieta, homeopatía e implantación de catgut en puntos de acupuntura, tratando de equilibrar la energía y cambiar estilos de vida. Material y método: se realizó un estudio descriptivo, longitudinal, y prospectivo en el servicio de Medicina Tradicional y Natural del Hospital General Docente Abel Santamaría Cuadrado de Pinar del Río en el año 2011. El universo y la muestra coinciden estando constituidas por 80 pacientes, a todos los pacientes se les realizó en la primera consulta historia clínica y se les calculó el índice de masa corporal. Los pacientes se valoraron mensualmente y tratados con dieta y homeopatía (grupo I) y dieta, homeopatía y siembra de catgut en puntos de acupuntura (grupo II). Resultados: se obtuvo un predominio de la obesidad grado II, en el sexo femenino entre 27 y 37 años. Las alternativas de tratamiento utilizadas para la obesidad fueron efectivas en un 93,8 % de los pacientes y la mayoría de los que alcanzaron el peso ideal lo hicieron entre el cuarto y sexto mes de tratamiento. Conclusiones: la asociación de dieta, homeopatía e implantación de catgut en puntos de acupuntura para el tratamiento de la obesidad exógena fue más efectiva que la utilización solo de dieta y homeopatía.
Introduction: obesity is a multifactorial-origin disorder that is characterized by the excessive accumulation of fat and general hypertrophy of adipose tissue in the body; a risk factor known as multiple diseases with esthetic and social repercussion. Objective: to achieve the ideal weight in obese patients by means of combining the diet, homeopathy and implantation of catgut suture in acupuncture points, trying to balance the energy and changing lifestyles. Material and method: a descriptive, longitudinal and prospective study was conducted in the service of Natural and Traditional Medicine at "Abel Santamaria Cuadrado" Pinar del Rio, during 2011. The target group and the sample coincided, both were comprised of 80 patients, a clinical history was made to each patient and body mass index was calculated. Patients were monthly assessed and treated using diet and homeopathy (group I), as well as diet, homeopathy and catgut applied on the acupuncture points (group II). Results: degree II of obesity prevailed in female sex from 27 to 37 years old. The alternatives of treatment used to treat obesity were effective in 93,8% of patients and the majority reached the ideal weight between the 4th and 6th months of treatment. Conclusions: the association of diet, homeopathy and implantation of catgut in acupuncture points to the treatment of exogenous obesity was more effective than the purely use of diet and homeopathy.
