Abstract

ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to investigate the effects of ear acupuncture and NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) applications on weight loss. MethodsThis study was planned as a prospective intervention study between 15 March-15 June 2018. Sixty patients (ear acupuncture = 30 patients, NLP = 30 patients) who applied to the Acupuncture and Complementary Medicine Methods Application and Research Center of Ataturk University Faculty of Medicine, FamilyMedicine Department, were included in the study. In both groups, 12 sessions were performed with an interval of 15 days. Results70% (n = 42) of the patients were female and 30% (n = 18) were male. The number of female participants was significantly higher in the ear acupuncture group (p <0.005). At the end of the study, mean weight loss in the groups was 7.07 ± 3.85 kg in the acupuncture group and 4.87 ± 2.55 kg in the NLP group (p = 0.016). ConclusionOur study suggests that ear acupuncture and NLP applications provide the desired level of weight loss in obese patients, however ear acupuncture is a more effective method.

Amaç: Bu çalışma ile önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunu olan obezitenin tedavi seçeneklerinden olan kulak akupunkturu ve NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) uygulamalarının kilo verme üzerine etkinliklerinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntem: Prospektif bir müdahale çalışması olarak planlanan bu çalışma 15 Mart-15 Haziran 2018 tarihleri arasında yapıldı. Araştırmaya Atatürk Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi, Aile Hekimliği Anabilim Dalı, Akupunktur ve Tamamlayıcı TıpYöntemleri Uygulama ve AraştırmaMerkezi (ATYAM)’a başvuran aşırı kilo ve obezite sorunu bulunan 60 hasta (kulak akupunkturu=30 hasta, NLP=30 hasta) dâhil edildi. Her iki grupta 15 gün ara ile 12 seans tedavi uygulandı. Bulgular: Çalışmamıza katılan hastaların %70‘i (n= 42) kadın %30’u (n=18 ) erkek idi. Kulak akupunkturu grubunda kadın katılımcı sayısı anlamlı derecede daha yüksek idi (p<0,005). Çalışmanın sonunda gruplardaki vücut ağırlığındaki ortalama düşme akupunktur grubunda 7,07±3,85 kg iken, NLP grubunda 4,87±2,55 kg idi (p=0,016).Sonuç: Çalışmamız kulak akupunkturu ve NLP uygulamalarının her ikisinin de obez hastalarda istenen düzeyde kilo vermelerini sağladığına, bununla birlikte kulak akupunkturunun daha etkin bir yöntem olduğuna işaret etmektedir.
