中医护理在儿童单纯性肥胖防治中的应用研究进展

The Application of Traditional Chinese Medicine-Based Care in Childhood Simple Obesity Prevention and Treatment: A Review

摘要: 儿童单纯性肥胖已成为威胁儿童青少年健康的重要公共卫生问题，其防治需兼顾安全性、依从性与长期性。中医护理凭借非药物干预、整体调节与辨证施护的优势，在改善患儿体重、代谢指标及生活方式方面展现出良好应用前景。本文通过梳理近年来中医护理技术(如推拿、灸法、耳穴压豆、穴位贴敷)在儿童单纯性肥胖中的应用现状，总结其主要干预模式与临床效果，分析当前存在的主要问题，如操作规范缺乏、作用机制阐释不足、长期管理机制不健全及多学科融合深度有限等，并对未来发展方向进行简要展望，以期为中医护理在儿童单纯性肥胖防治中的规范化发展与推广应用提供参考。

Abstract: Childhood simple obesity has become a major public health issue threatening the health of children and adolescents, necessitating prevention and treatment strategies that balance safety, compliance, and long-term sustainability. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) nursing, leveraging its advantages in non-pharmacological interventions, holistic regulation, and syndrome differentiation-based care, demonstrates promising potential in improving body weight, metabolic indicators, and lifestyle habits in affected children. This article reviews recent applications of TCM nursing techniques—such as massage, moxibustion, auricular acupoint pressing, and acupoint application—in managing childhood simple obesity. It summarizes primary intervention models and clinical outcomes, analyzes existing challenges including lack of standardized protocols, insufficient mechanistic explanations, inadequate long-term management mechanisms, and limited depth in multidisciplinary integration. Finally, it offers a brief outlook on future directions, aiming to provide references for standardizing and promoting TCM nursing in the prevention and treatment of childhood simple obesity.
