The Clinical Research On The Treatment Of Intractable By Low Frequency Electrical Stimulation Combined With Compound Huanglian Ejiao Tang

Objective: To compare the difference in the clinical efficacy on intractable insomnia between the low-frequency electric stimulation treatment combined with Compound Huanglian Ejiao Tang and Compound Huanglian Ejiao Tang,so as to explore new idea and strategy for intractable insomnia treatment.Method: One hundred patients with intractable insomnia were randomly divided into the low-frequency electric resonance stimulation treatment(equipment group)and combined with Compound Huanglian Ejiao Tang(comprehensive group)and Compound Huanglian Ejiao Tang(traditional Chinese medicine,TCM group).In low-frequency electric resonance stimulation treatment combined with TCM group,the low frequency electric resonance apparatus was applied on patients during sleeping period,once a day,five days a week.The treatment of four weeks made one section and two sections were required.Both of the comprehensive group and TCM group took traditional Chinese medicine every day.Both group were treated for two sections,and then being compared with their improvement of insomnia degree and the scores of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI),Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS),and the Self-Rating Depression Scale(SDS)before and after treatment.Result: After eight weeks of treatment,the clinical cure rate of the PSQI score of the Chinese medicine group was 16.67%,the total effective rate was 66.67%.The clinical recovery rate of the equipment group was 36.67%,and the total effective rate was 76.67%.The clinical recovery rate of the combination group was 50%,and the total effective rate was 90%.These results suggest that the combination of low frequency resonance electrical TCM in the treatment of intractable insomnia is better than t TCM or device only.The cure rate is high,and the time needed for clinical effect is also relatively short.In the conclusion,combination of low-frequency electric resonance stimulation with TCM achieves quick efficacy on intractable insomnia and rapidly relives the symptoms.The long term efficacy is better than that of TCM treatment only.
