To observe the clinical effect of the application of point-embedding combin ed with conventional therapy in the treatment of simple obesity.Methods：A total of 94 cases of patients with spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction type with simple obesity were divided into the control group and the observation group according to the random number table method，47 cases in each group.In both groups，diet control and moderate aerobic exercise were carried out，Orlistat Capsules were taken orally at mealtime or 1 h after mealtime and corresponding nursing measures were given.The observation group was additionally treated with point-embedding.Both groups were treated for two months.Before and after treatment，the body mass，waistline， hip-line and height were measured； body mass index(BMI)， waist-to-hip ratio(WHR)and percentage of fat(F%)were calculated；the thickness of subcutaneous fat was measured at the midpoint of the lateral arm of the lower edge of the right deltoid，the angulus of right inferior scapulae point，three centimeters to the right of the umbilicus and right anterior superior iliac spine；the symptom scores of the syndrome of spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction were evaluated；the clinical effect in the two groups was compared.Results：After treatment，the clinical effect in the observation group was better than that in the control group，the difference being significant(P ＜ 0.05).The BMI，F%and WHR in both groups were decreased when compared with those before treatment(P ＜ 0.01)，and the above three levels in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).The thickness of subcutaneous fat at the midpoint of the lateral arm of the lower edge of the right deltoid， the angulus of right inferior scapulae point， three centimeters to the right of the umbilicus and right anterior superior iliac spine in both groups was decreased when compared with that before treatment respectively(P ＜ 0.01)，and the thickness of subcutaneous fat of the above four areas was lower than that in the control group(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion：Based on the routine diet，medication and behavioral intervention，the additional application of point-embedding has good clinical effect in treating patients with simple obesity，which can reduce the thickness of subcutaneous fat and lessen the symptoms caused by the syndrome of spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction.
