This study was conducted to determine the effect of Laser acupuncture on anthropometric parameters, C-reactive protein (CRP) and lipid profile in obese premenopausal women. Thirty obese premenopausal women participated in this study. They were divided into two equal groups: control group received low caloric diet (1200 Cal) for 12 weeks, and the study group received the same diet regime and the laser acupuncture 3 sessions /week for 12 weeks. Evaluation was done through measuring body mass index (BMI), waist/hip ratio (WHR), CRP and lipid profile at the start and after the end of the treatment course. Results revealed that both control and study groups showed a statistically highly significant decrease in BMI (P=0.001), WHR (P=0.001), CRP (P=0.001), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (P=0.001), triglycerides (P=0.001) and cholesterol (P=0.001), while there was a non-significant increase in high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) (P=0.316) post treatment. Compared to the control group, the study group showed a statistically highly significant decrease in BMI (P=0.001), WHR (P=0.001), CRP (P=0.003), LDL-C (P=0.001), triglycerides (P=0.001) and cholesterol (P=0.001) and non significant increase in HDL-C (P=0.316). Thus, laser acupuncture is an effective modality for reducing abdominal adiposity, CRP and improving lipid profile in obese premenopausal women
