Clinical Observation Of Acupuncturing Transport Points And Alarm Points In Treating Insomnia Of Phlegm-Heat Diturbing The Heart

Objective: In this study,we had observed the clinical effect of the method of acupuncturing transport points and alarm points in treating insomnia of phlegm-heat disturbing the heart,in order to provide a more effective treatment for this disease.Methods: 124 patients who meet the requirements were collected as the research objects of this experiment.These patients were divided into the treatment group and the control group,there were 62 patients in each group.In the treatment group,bilateral Xinshu,Ganshu,Pishu,Riyue and Zhongwan were selected;those acupoints that treat patients in the control group were selected according to the treatment plan for insomnia of phlegm-heat disturbing the heart in "Twelfth Five-Year" ? Meridian Acupoint Teaching Material ? edited by Liu Qingguo.These patients in the treatment group and the control group were acupunctured once a day,6 times a week,one course of treatment per week,4 courses of treatment.Before and after the treatment,the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Scale Points and the TCM Syndrome Scale Points of each group had been recorded,then we had compared the changes before and after treatment about the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Scale Points and the TCM Syndrome Scale Points in each group.According to the changes of these scores,we can evaluated the clinical effects of the above two acupuncturing methods in treating insomnia of phlegm-heat disturbing the heart.Result: There were 61 patients had completed the experiment in the treatment group,and there were 60 patients had completed the experiment in the control group.Before the treatment,there was not significant difference(P>0.05)between these groups in the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Scale Points and the TCM Syndrome Scale Points;before and after the treatment,there was significant difference(P<0.05)about the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Scale Points and the TCM Syndrome Scale Points in each group;after the treatment,there was significant difference(P<0.05)between these groups in thePittsburgh Sleep Quality Scale Points and the TCM Syndrome Scale Points;about the western medicine total effectiveness,there was significant difference(P<0.05)between these groups;about the Chinese medicine total effectiveness,there was significant difference(P<0.05)between these groups.Conclusion: Both the method of acupuncturing transport points and alarm points with the common acupuncturing method are effective in treating insomnia of phlegm-heat disturbing the heart,and the method of acupuncturing transport points and alarm points is more effective than the common acupuncturing method.
