妊娠期体重增加和产后1年体重保持与长期肥胖有关。我们旨在探讨激光针刺治疗对产后体重控制的影响。将66例产后体重潴留患者随机分为激光针刺组和对照组。采用椎体或假激光针刺，每周5次，分别在耳胃、饿穴、ST25、ST28、ST40、SP15、CV9、SP6等穴位进行治疗。治疗12个疗程后，通过方差分析、卡方检验和逐步回归检验，分析比较激光针刺组和对照组患者身体质量指数（BMI）、体脂率（BFP）、腰臀比（WBR）的差异。激光针刺组与对照组患者的特征无显著差异。激光针刺组与对照组的重复测量数据分析显示，产后BMI （P < 0.001）和BFP （P < 0.001）存在显著差异；但WBR无显著差异（P = 0.09）。激光针灸通过改善BMI和BFP来减少产后体重潴留，但不影响短期治疗后的WBR。
Gestational weight gain and weight retention at 1 year after delivery are associated with long-term obesity. We aimed to investigate the effect of laser acupuncture therapy on postpartum weight control. We randomly assigned 66 subjects with postpartum weight retention to a laser acupuncture group and control group. The subjects were treated at acupoints including the stomach and hunger points of the ear, ST25, ST28, ST40, SP15, CV9, and SP6 by using verum or sham laser acupuncture over 5 sessions per week. After 12 treatment sessions, the differences in the body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage (BFP), and waist-to-buttocks ratio (WBR) of the patients were analyzed and compared between the laser acupuncture and control groups via analysis of variance, chi-square tests, and stepwise regression tests. The characteristics of the patients did not significantly differ between the laser acupuncture and control groups. Analysis of repeated measures data between the laser acupuncture and control groups indicated the presence of significant differences in postpartum BMI (P < 0.001) and BFP (P < 0.001); however, no significant difference was observed for WBR (P = 0.09). Laser acupuncture reduces postpartum weight retention by improving BMI and BFP, but does not impact the WBR following short-term treatment.
