The Effects of Acupuncture on Weight Loss

Obesity, an epidemic in America, has not been effectively treated by diet, exercise, or Western medical interventions that is why I chose to do my doctoral research study on the effectiveness of acupuncture on weight loss. This study is now beginning in New York City.

Proposal: To examine the efficacy of using acupuncture to assist in weight loss and a reduction in body mass index (BMI).

Protocol: Acupuncture will be administered 4 mornings a week for 3 weeks, with an additional 3 weeks of measurements. The study will last 6 weeks in total.

Participants: Seeking adults over 35 years old with a BMI between 30 and 39.(I will calculate your BMI).
