| Objective: To observe the effects of Sleep deprivation(SD)on fatigue and sleepiness,and to explore the clinical efficacy of “preventive acupuncture” on relieving fatigue and sleepiness after SD.Methods: Sixty college students aged 18-30 years old were recruited from colleges and universities in Changchun,among which 2 cases fell off.A total of 58 cases were included.Subjects were randomly divided into a preventive acupuncture group and a control group.Before SD,the preventive acupuncture group received once-a-day electroacupuncture intervention treatment,while the control group received no treatment.The intervention lasted for 7 days,and the two groups were deprived of sleep for 30 hours after 7 days.Before and after SD,the two groups of subjects were tested with the scales and brain function monitoring,including the Stanford Sleep Scale(SSS),Fatigue Severity Scale(FSS),Brief Fatigue Inventory(BFI),and Encephalofluogram Technology(ET).The data obtained were statistically analyzed.Results: 1.SSS scale: After statistical analysis,there was no statistically significant difference in baseline data between the two groups(P > 0.05),which was comparable;After TSD30 h,there was significant difference between the two groups(P < 0.01),which was statistically significant.There were significant differences in SSS scale scores between the two groups before and after TSD30h(P < 0.01),which was statistically significant.2.FSS scale: After statistical analysis,there was no significant difference in baseline data between the two groups(P > 0.05),which was comparable;After TSD30 h,there was significant difference between the two groups(P < 0.01),which was statistically significant.There were significant differences in FSS scale scores between the two groups before and after TSD30h(P < 0.01),which was statistically significant.3.BFI scale: After statistical analysis,there was no statistically significant difference in baseline data between the two groups(P > 0.05),which was comparable;After TSD30 h,there was significant difference between the two groups(P < 0.05),which was statistically significant.There were significant differences in BFI scale scores between the two groups before and after TSD30h(P < 0.01),which was statistically significant.4.Encephalofluogram Technology:(1)Cerebral ischemia and hypoxia state: Statistical analysis showed that there was no significant difference in baseline data between the two groups(P > 0.05),which was comparable;After TSD30 h,there was significant difference between the two groups(P < 0.01),which was statistically significant.There were significant differences in cerebral ischemia and hypoxia state between the two groups before and after TSD30h(P < 0.01),which was statistically significant.(2)Brain fatigue state: Statistical analysis showed that there was no significant difference in baseline data between the two groups(P > 0.05),which was comparable;After TSD30 h,there was significant difference between the two groups(P < 0.01),which was statistically significant.There were significant differences in fatigue state between the two groups before and after TSD30h(P < 0.01),which was statistically significant.Conclusion: 1.SD can increase fatigue and sleepiness in individuals.2.“Preventive acupuncture” can reduce the individual’s sense of fatigue and sleepiness to a certain extent. |
