All scores of the control group also had significant differences except the score of the sleep disorders. The treatment group was prior to the control group, which compared the PSQI scores of the sleep quality, time for falling asleep, sleep maintaining time, sleep efficiency and functional disturbance in daytime and the total score. There was no significant difference between the total effects of the two groups.Conclusion: For the treatment of primary insomnia patients, Tuina therapy of Yinyang Ruyin had the same therapeutic effect as that of estazolam.
