| Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of electroacupuncture at Shenshu,Huiyang and routine acupuncture in the treatment of senile chronic insomnia,and to provide an effective new method for clinical treatment of senile chronic insomnia.Method:total of 64 elderly patients with chronic insomnia were randomly divided into treatment group(electronic acupuncture group,n = 32),including 15 males and 17 females,with an average age of 66.69 ± 4.20 years.The mean course of disease was 9.66 ± 3.69 months,and the control group(32 cases of routine acupuncture group,male 14 cases,female 18 cases,mean age 65.47 ± 3.65 years old),The average course of disease was 9.09± 3.18 months.The control group was treated with routine acupuncture therapy.The treatment group was treated with electronic acupuncture at Shenshu and Huiyang points on the basis of the treatment in the control group.Six times,one course of treatment,a total of two courses of treatment.Using TCM symptom score,clinical efficacy evaluation of traditional Chinese medicine and PSQI,SPIEGEL,AIS rating scale and PSQI scale as the observation index of this project.Before treatment,the two groups of patients were observed.According to the methods of diagnosis and treatment of insomnia in China,the patients were followed up one month after treatment,and the changes of PSQI SPIEGELI AIS indexes were observed,and the long-term clinical effects were compared by statistical analysis.Result:1.Compared in the two groups:two groups of patients before and after treatment of PSQI factors and TCM symptom score were significantly decreased(P<0.05);before treatment,after treatment and follow-up of 22 when compared to PSQI,SPIEGEL,AIS score,two groups of patients before and after treatment and follow-up decreased significantly(P<0.05),after treatment and follow-up of each scale mean despite the changes,but the difference was not significant(P>0.05).2.Comparison between the two groups:there was no significant difference in the scores of PSQI,SPIEGEL and AIS between the two groups before treatment,and there was no significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05).After treatment,there was no significant difference in the scores of PSQI,SPIEGEL and AIS.The score of TCM symptom(except burnout)in electronic acupuncture group was significantly lower than that in routine group(P<0.05).The total score of PSQI PSQI in electronic acupuncture group was significantly lower than that in routine group(P<0.05),and the total score in electronic acupuncture group was significantly lower than that in routine group(P<0.05),and the total score of PSQI in electronic acupuncture group was significantly lower than that in routine group(P<0.05).The total score of SPIEGEL,AIS in the electronic acupuncture group was significantly lower than that in the routine group(P<0.05).The total AIS score of PSQI,SPIEGEL,AIS was lower than that of the routine group(P<0.05)before treatment,after treatment and at the time of follow up(P<0.05),and the total score of PSQI,SPIEGEL AIS in the electronic acupuncture group was significantly lower than that in the conventional group(P<0.05).3.In the treatment group,11 cases were cured,13 cases were effective,5 cases were effective,3 cases were ineffective,the total effective rate of treatment group was 90.62.The control group was cured in 6 cases,markedly effective in 8 cases,and effective in 9 cases.The total effective rate of clinical treatment was 75.00.There was significant difference between the treatment group and the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:1.Electroacupuncture of Shenshu,Huiyang and routine acupuncture is an effective method to treat senile chronic insomnia,and the curative effect is better than that of routine acupuncture group.2.Electroacupuncture of Shenshu,Huiyang point combined with routine acupuncture in the treatment of senile chronic insomnia can improve the clinical symptoms of the elderly patients with chronic insomnia,improve the quality and efficiency of sleep,reduce the time of falling asleep,prolong the time of sleep,and not easily recur.Both short-term and long-term effects were superior to those of routine acupuncture group. |
