METHOD OF OVERWEIGHT REDUCTION AND FIGURE CORRECTION "ORIGITHEA" AND RELATED NEEDLE Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC A61H39/00 A61H39/04 A61H39/08 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: headed needle is inserted into one auricular acupuncture point AT 17, AT 18 or into other auricular acupuncture point indicated for patient's adequate food motivation and/or neurosensory humoral control of hypothalamic-pituitary system and optimisation of lipolytic mechanisms. Needle is brought under the skin to lead its free end out from another specified auricular point. Needle is fixed in this position by means of clamp mounted on free end of the needle. In process of treatment dynamics of patient's overweight reduction is controlled. If it is required to make any changes, rate of overweight reduction is regulated by changing in stimulating effect intensity on auricular acupuncture points. Stimulating effect is regulated by parameters variation of needle head and/or clamp and/or core. Needle used in this method contains head, core and demountable clamp established on free end of core. The clamp is designed as attachment with blind hole for clamp fastening to free end of core. Clamp height is not less than 0.15 mm, length of core is not less than 5 mm, diameter of core is not less than 0.08 mm, and weight of needle is not less than 0.01 g.

EFFECT: method and needle design allow for more effective body overweight reduction due to changing in stimulating effect intensity on auricular acupuncture points.
