Clinical Observation Of Auricular Point Acupuncture And Pressing Therapy For Insomnia With Qi Depression Constitution

ObjectiveIn this study,randomized controlled method was used to observe the clinical effect of auricular point acupuncture and pressing therapy on patients with qi depression constitution insomnia,and to provide more effective auricular diagnosis and treatment ideas and schemes for patients with insomnia..Methods68 subjects who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into control group and experimental group,with 34 cases in each group.The control group was treated with auricular point pressure pill method,and one side of the auricle was treated each time.The experimental group was treated with auricular point acupuncture and pressing method,that is,combined with auricular point intradermal acupuncture method on the basis of the control group,both sides of the auricle were treated at the same time,auricular point pressure pill method was performed on one auricle,auricular point intradermal acupuncture method was performed on the other auricle.The patients were treated once a week with an interval of 5-7 days for 4 consecutive times and followed up 2 weeks after the treatment.The pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI)scores were recorded before treatment,after treatment and after follow-up.SPSS 24.0 software was used to analyze the data and compare the clinical efficacy of the two groups.Results1.After treatment,the total score of PSQI and sub-item scores of sleeping time and sleep efficiency of the experimental group were lower than those of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P < 0.05).2.After treatment,the PSQI total score and sub-item scores of sleep quality,time to sleep,sleep time,sleep disorder and daytime dysfunction of experimental group and control group were lower than before treatment,the difference was statistically significant(P < 0.05).3.The total score of PSQI in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group after follow-up,and the total score of PSQI in the two groups after follow-up was lower than that before treatment,the difference was statistically significant(P < 0.05).4.The significant efficiency of the experimental group was 39.39%,and the total effective rate was 81.82%,and that of the control group was 14.71%,and the total effective rate was 58.82%.The significant efficiency of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P < 0.05).There was no significant difference in the total effective rate between the experimental group and the control group(P > 0.05).ConclusionAuricular point acupuncture and pressing method and auricular point pressure pill method can effectively improve the insomnia symptoms of patients with qi depression constitution insomnia,and both have good long-term efficacy.But compared with the auricular point pressure pill method,auricular point acupuncture and pressing method can better improve the overall sleep quality of patients with qi depression constitution insomnia,and the overall effect is better,especially in improving sleep time and sleep efficiency.In addition,the long-term effect of auricular point acupuncture and pressing method is better than auricular point pressure pill method.Therefore,auricular point acupuncture and pressing method is worth further application and promotion in clinical practice.
