Abstract

Acupuncture is an emerging therapy being utilised by those with eating disorders. Little is known about acupuncture and eating disorders. The aim of this paper is to present some TCM insight into the eating disordered patient who seeks acupuncture treatment such as how they present according to TCM principles and how acupuncturists are treating these patients. Three experienced acupuncturists contributed 46 cases studies (eighteen outpatients, twenty six inpatients) of patients with eating disorders who sought acupuncture treatment. Help with their eating disorder was not what the majority of patients in this study sought acupuncture for. The majority of in-patients wanted help for digestive and mood concerns. Our collective cases provide an insight into how eating disorders present and how they are treated by TCM acupuncture. How these insights may help clinicians and researchers is discussed.

一个案例系列:寻求针灸治疗的饮食失调患者如何表现(不和谐的模式)，他们是如何治疗的?

针灸是一种新兴的治疗方法，被那些饮食失调的人所使用。人们对针灸和饮食失调知之甚少。本文的目的是为寻求针灸治疗的饮食失调患者提供一些中医见解，例如他们如何根据中医原理呈现以及针灸师如何治疗这些患者。三位经验丰富的针灸师贡献了46例(18例门诊患者，26例住院患者)饮食失调患者寻求针灸治疗的案例研究。在这项研究中，大多数患者寻求针灸治疗并不是为了帮助他们解决饮食失调问题。大多数住院病人需要消化和情绪方面的帮助。我们的集体案例提供了一个洞察饮食失调是如何出现的，以及如何用中医针灸治疗。讨论了这些见解如何帮助临床医生和研究人员。
