Clinical Research On Shu Gan Li Fei Acupuncture For Insomnia At Yinshi

Objective:To explore the therapeutic effect of Shugan Lifei acupuncture on Yinshi insomnia based on Yingwei theory,in order to provide feasible clinical scheme and theoretical basis in the future treatment,alleviate the pain of patients,improve their quality of life,and expand new ideas for clinical treatment of this disease.Methods:It was decided to carry a randomized controlled trial.Sixty patients who met the diagnostic and inclusion criteria were split into two groups at random.The treatment group received Shugan Lifei acupuncture five times a week for four weeks,whereas the control group received conventional acupuncture.The therapeutic efficacy of the two groups was measured by analyzing their Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Scale(PSQI)scores and TCM syndrome scores before and after therapy.Results:1.Statistical analysis revealed that there was no statistically significant difference(P>0.05)between the two groups before treatment,based on general information such as gender,age,course,and each scale score.2.Comparison of the two groups after therapy: Both groups’ PSQI scale indicators and total scores were lower than before treatment,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).After therapy,both groups’ TCM syndrome scores were lower than before treatment,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).3.Post-treatment comparison of the two groups: the treatment group’s sleep time,sleep efficiency,and total PSQI score were all lower than the control group’s,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).After treatment,the treatment group’s TCM syndrome score was lower than the control group’s,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).4.Effectiveness comparison: the treatment group’s sleep quality efficacy was 93.30 percent,the TCM syndrome efficacy was 86.67 percent,and the control group’s efficacy was 76.70 percent and 66.67 percent,respectively.There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups(P<0.05).Conclusion:1.Both acupuncture methods can significantly reduce the PSQI score and TCM syndrome score of insomnia patients at Yinshi,but the Shugan Lifei acupuncture method has higher effective rate and better clinical efficacy.2.Shugan Lifei acupuncture is superior to conventional acupuncture in improving sleep time,sleep efficiency,sleep disorders and TCM syndromes.
