Clinical Research On Insomnia Treatment By Jin Three Needle Therapy

ObjectiveThis study adopted the randomized method, taking the commonl acupuncture methods as the control group, in order to observe the clinical curative effect of Jin three-needle therapy for treatment of insomnia. We try to compare the curative effect of these two kinds of therapy to find out whether there is any difference and to analyze the may cause of their difference, so as to provide the evidence for clinic treatment of insomnia with Jin three-needle therapy.Methods60patients were randomly divided into treatment group and control group. There were30patients in treatment group and the other30patients in control group. Patients in the treatment group were treated by Melancholy three needle points, Stabilizing shen points; when control group were treated by common acupuncture method. The efficacy of the treatment group and the control group were be compared after3courses of treatment. The observe indexes were the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Scale(PSQI). We compared the scores of PSQI before and after the treatment, finally used the SPSS software to analyze the statistical data and made conclusions.Results①In the total effect, the treatment group5cases were cured,11cases were markedly effective,12cases were effective and2cases were inefficacy, the total effective rate was93.3%, while the control group,3cases were cured,10cases were markedly effective,12cases were effective and5cases were inefficacy, and the total efficiency was83.3%. Compared two groups with the rank sum test, showed there is statistical significance (P<0.05), and indicated that the curative effect of treatment group had better curative effect than that of control group.②There was no difference on each factor and total score of PSQI among the two groups before the treatment(P>0.05).③After treatment, almost every factor and total score of PSQI of the treatment group were improved (P<0.05). when the control group only had improvement on the subject of sleep quality、sleep latency、sleep during、 sleep disturbance、daytime dysfunction and total score of PSQI(P<0.05).④Jin three-needle therapy group was significantly better than the simply acupuncture therapy group on subjective of sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep disturbance and daytime dysfunction of PSQI after treatment (P<0.05).⑤Jin three-needle therapy group and simply acupuncture therapy group both had no difference on the curative effect on different types of insomnia.ConclusionThis study shows that, Jin three-needle therapy and common acupuncture therapy for the patients with insomnia both had improvement in thei r symptoms, but the effect of Jin three needle therapy was significantly better than that of common acupuncture group.
