Evaluation Study Of Auricular Point Pressing Needle On Insomnia In Sub-health State Of Qi-stagnation

Objective: Observe the clinical effect of auricular point pressing needle intervention on sub-health insomnia of qi-stagnation,and explore its influence on the biased state of patients’ constitution.Methods: In this study,combined with the inclusion criteria,a total of 64 cases were selected.Random sampling was adopted to divide these cases into the intervention group and the control group,the number of patients in each group was 32.The intervention group was intervened with auricular point pressing needle,once every 2 days,3 times a week.The control group was intervened with conventional acupuncture,once a day,5 times a week,both groups were intervened for 4 weeks.The PSQI score and qi-stagnation constitution integration before and after the intervention were recorded and evaluated.The patients were followed up one month after the intervention,and filling the PSQI scale.The data were analyzed by SPSS23.0 software to evaluate the curative effect.Results:1.Clinical effect: In the total effective rate,the intervention group and the control group were 86.67% and 80.00% respectively,the former was higher.Comparison of curative effect between the two groups,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).2.The PSQI comparison:(1)Comparison in the group: After the intervention,compared with before the intervention,the PSQI score and various scores of the two groups showed a downward trend,with statistical differences(P<0.05).Comparing the results during follow-up and after intervention,each factor of the two groups showed an upward trend,but there were no significant differences in PSQI score,sleep quality,sleep duration and sleep disorder(P>0.05).(2)Comparison between groups: After the intervention,in addition to sleep disorders,the differences of PSQI score,the time of falling asleep,sleep quality,sleep duration and so on between the two groups were obvious and statistically significant(P<0.05).At follow-up,the differences of sleep duration,the time of falling asleep and daytime dysfunction between the two groups were obvious and statistically significant(P<0.05),while there were no statistical differences in PSQI score,sleep quality and other factors(P>0.05).3.Physical comparison:(1)Comparison in the group: The qi-stagnation constitution integration of the two groups after intervention were statistically different from this before intervention(P<0.05).(2)Comparison between groups: After intervention,the qi-stagnation constitution integration of the intervention group was lower than that of the control group.Comparison of the two groups,the statistical difference is very obvious(P<0.05).Conclusion:(1)Auricular point pressing needle and ordinary acupuncture can effectively improve sub-health insomnia,and the long-term effect is good,but the overall effect of auricular point pressing needle is more significant.(2)Auricular point pressing needle has more advantages than ordinary acupuncture in improving the time of falling asleep,sleep time,daytime dysfunction,etc.which is worthy of further promotion in clinic.(3)Both auricular point pressing needle and ordinary acupuncture can improve the transformation score of qi-stagnation constitution to a certain extent,but there is no change in the biased state of constitution.
