This disease is commonly associated with symptoms of day functional activities, such as frequently tired,irritability,emotional disorders,lack of concentration,poor memory and so on;therefore,this would reduce their ability and working efficiency.Insomnia can seriously affect people' s daily-life,working efficiency and physical and mental health,and easy to arose other mental disease.Increasingly with the socialcompetition,life rhythm speed,the change of living environment,and the heavily mental pressure, insomnia is gradually emphasized by modern medical circles.Some research showed that the insomnia could influence the attention dysfunction,strength of judgment,memory and the daily working ability,and alsoit can cause large economic loss.In addition,it can lead to depression,anxiety and fear situation,and ever suicide inclination,all of this would cause large social harm ness,and moreover it can increase the morbidity of the coronary heart disease and is the independent risk factors of the diabetes mellitus disease.Therefore,diagnosing and treating insomnia accurately is very important for people' s health,and researching the effective way to treat insomnia has significant and practical economic and social meaning.Objective:Considering the shortcomings of present methods in treating insomnia,and in order to improve the clinical effect and relieve the patients' burden, basing on the recognition of etiology and pathogenesis of the insomnia in Traditional Chinese Medicine,we attempt to combine the acupuncture with the point injection to treat the insomnia.With this method,we choose effective points to find a simple,high- efficient clinical method in treating insomnia. Methods:In this study,we chose and treat 60 patientswith insomnia.The patients who have met the criteria were randomly divided into two groups:the treat group and the control group.Each group had 30 patients,and their age was between 21-55,and average age was 37.9±8.02;The course of disease was 6 months to 60 months,and average course was 19.47±11.305 months.All the patients were assessed by PSQI score before being treated,the pre-PSQI score of the treatment group was 13.47±2.616,and the control group was 13.10±2.431.Ihe treatment group was treated by acupuncture adding point injection,and meantime the control group was treated by acupuncture,and both groups were treated for 6 weeks.In the research,we observed two groups homochronously, and recorded the pre-treatment scores and post-treatment scores.We assessed the difference of the treatment effect between the two groups by SPSS software statistics.Results:After the treatment,the PSQI score of the treatment group was 7.667±2.636,and the control group was 9.20±2.523,so there' s a remarkable significance between two groups(P<0.05).Therefore,the treatment group was more effective than the control group in the sleep quality improvements. After the treatment,the total effective rate of the treatment was 90%,and the control group was 86.67%,so there is no significantly difference between two groups in the total effective rate(P>0.05).Therefore,the treatment group was as effective as the control group in the sleep time improvements.After two-week treatment,the treatment group was more effective than the control group(P<0.05),thus the treatment group was more effective in a short time (two-week).Conclusion:Clinical research showed that acupuncture adding point injection has a better effect on the improvement of the sleep quality and sleep time aspects compared with traditional acupuncture.After the research,we come to the conclusion that acupuncture adding point injection is a simple,quick and practical method in thetreatment of insomnia.
