Clinical Observation On Ren-Du-meridian-regulating Acupuncture Therapy For Insomnia Of Yin-XU-HUO-WANG

Purpose: To observe the effect of the accupuncture method of TIAO BU REN DU,we curethe insomnia patients (the type of YIN XU HUO WANG) by the TIAO BU REN DU accup-uncture method, then summarize the effect of this method.Method:60patients suffering from insomnia(type of YIN XU HUO WANG) were dividedinto2groups,30patients in the treatment group, and30patients in the control group.Acupoints used in the treatment group are Dazhui(GV14), Baihui(GV20), Shenting(GV24),Yintang(EX2), Chengjiang(CV24),Danzhong(CV17), Zhongwan(CV12), Qihai(CV6), Gua-nyuan (CV4), Xinshu(BL15), Shenshu(BL23), Shenmen(HT7), Taixi(K13). The needleswere retain30minutes. The treatment was done once a day. And the patients in the controlgroup useed the Zopiclone tablets7.5mg before sleeping once a day. After14days oftreatment, clinical effect were been observed. Before and after treatment, subjects wereevaluated with The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). And then Analyzed the resultsthrough self-control study and mutual control experiment.Result: The PSQI score in treatment group before curing is (15.96土1.92), in control groupis(15.94士1.97), after treatment (6.03士2.15) in treatment group,(10.98士2.19) in controlgroup. Statistic analysis shows p<0.05, means both methods are effective. PSQI score aftertreatment between two groups are significantly different (p<0.05). Observe the clinical effectin30cases in treatment group, discovered that13cases are clinically recovered,6cases aresignificantly recovered,7cases are effective,4cases are ineffective. And anmong the30casesin the control group,6cases with clinical recovery,9cases with significant recovery,9caseswith effective results,6cases with ineffective results. Rank sum test (Mann-Whitney U)statistic summarize shows that there are no significant differences between treatment groupand control group (p>0.05).Conclusion: The treatment in both groups seems to be equally effective, both groupssignificantly improve sleep-ins time, sleeping time and PSQI grade. The results indicate thatthe cure rate is generally appropriate, but the treatment group is superior than the controlgroup in decreasing PSQI score was reduced.
