Objective：The clinical observation of insomnia caused of Kidney-Heartdisharmony treated by needling Governor Vessel Points.Method：1The object of research: patients who are suffering from insomnia caused ofKidney-Heart disharmony.2Grouping method:60patients who met the diagnostic criteria of the Chineseand Western medicine and suffered from insomnia caused of Kidney-Heartdisharmony were randomly divided into two groups: treatment group (30persons)and control group (30persons).3Measure: For the treatment in Governor Vessel(DU),the acupuncture wasperformed at Shenting(DU24),Baihui(DU20),Fengfu(DU16),Dazhui(DU14).For theconventional acupuncture group, the acupuncture was practiced atSishencong(EX-HN),Anmian,Neiguan(PC6),Shenmen(HT7),Taixi(KI3),Zhaohai(KI6). The treatment group choosed the treatment in Governor Vessel(DU) and theconventional acupuncture. The control group only choosed the conventionalacupuncture.The two groups were all treated for one course of30days.4Observe the index: observe Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) of thetreatment group and the control group before and after the treatment. Score thescores in every category and total score.5Statistical Method：Use SPSS17.0statistical for date analysis. Measurementdata that follow a normal distribution was analyzed using t test.Measurementdata that do not follow a normal distribution was analyzed using Rank sum test.We use (—X±S) as descriptive statistics. Categorical data we use X2test;Ranked date we use Rank sum test, P<0.05is considered as significant instatistical. Outcome:1Baseline observation：There was no significant difference (P>0.05) betweentwo groups in gender、age，indicating a relatively sound balance that the twogroups were comparable.2Curative effect index:2.1Before treatment there was no significant difference between two groups ineach category PSQI score and total score (p>0.05), so the treatment group andthe control group were comparable. After treatment the differences of sleepquality,the time to fall asleep,bedtime and total score between two groups werestatistically significant （P<0.05);the differences of sleep efficiency,somnipathy, hypnotic and daytime dysfunction between two groups were notstatistically significant (P>0.05).2.2The difference of the treatment group’s PSQI score between before and aftertreatment was statistically significant（P<0.05). The difference of the controlgroup’s PSQI score between before and after treatment was also statisticallysignificant（P<0.05).2.3The clinical efficacy of the treatment group the total effective rate was93.33%, while the control group, the total effective rate was80.00%. Thedifference of rate was statistically significant（P<0.05).Conclusion:1Acupunctural treatment for insomnia caused of Kidney-Heart disharmony iseffective.2Acupuncture treatment in Governor Vessel (DU) and the conventionalacupuncture together is much better than only conventional acupuncture forinsomnia caused of Kidney-Heart disharmony,especially in improving the sleepquality、increasing the bedtime and shortening the time to fall asleep.
