  13. DATA SOURCES: A total of 19 electronic databases, including English, Korean, Japanese and Chinese databases, were systematically searched for RCTs of acupuncture for reduction of body weight or improvement in obesity up to March 2008 with no language restrictions.

  14. A total of 31 studies, which comprised a total of 3013 individual cases, were systematically reviewed. Owing to insufficient data in 2 RCTs, 29 RCTs were used for meta-analysis.

  15. Compared to control of lifestyle, acupuncture was associated with a significant reduction of average body weight (95% confidence interval, CI) of 1.72 kg (0.50-2.93 kg) and associated with an improvement in obesity (relative risk=2.57; 95% CI, 1.98-3.34).

  16. Acupuncture significantly reduced a body weight of 1.56 kg (0.74-2.38 kg), on average, compared to placebo or sham treatments

  17. Acupuncture also showed more improved outcomes for body weight (mean difference=1.90 kg; 1.66-2.13 kg), as well as for obesity (relative risk=1.13; 1.04-1.22), than conventional medication

  18. Only four RCTs reported acupuncture-related adverse events, which were mostly minimal.

  19. CONCLUSION • Our review suggests that acupuncture is an effective treatment for obesity. • there is an urgent need for well-planned, long-term studies to address the effectiveness of acupuncture for treating obesity
