The Clinical Research Of Insomnia Treated On The Concept Of Wei-Qi Running Theory

Insomnia is a sort of illness characterized by being unable to get normal amount of sleeping frequently, main performance of lack of somnus both in quantity and quality. In mild phase, one would be hard to fall asleep, including not sleeping deeply, sleep-wake alternately, easy to suddenly awakened, dysphoria or not capable to fall asleep again after awakened. In severe phase, one would be not asleep through all the night, even black and white perversion. It can affect people’s normal working, living and studying, long enough to a bad body health.With a fast-paced changing in our society and a pressure increasing in our life and work, insomnia patients have grown in a sharp number, and the illness has become a important threat to people’s life and health.Object iveThe research is to summarize and explore a new view and method in TCM theory and clinical application and on the subject of Insomnia’s pathology and methodology, through the reading and concluding of TCM classics and great amount of literature. An other goal is to seek a more effective way to treat the insomnia by comparing the WEI-QI theory method with the traditional way, and by comparing the ratio of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI) and Self-Rating Scale of Sleep (SRSS).Methods1Exploration is to made to conclude a new view and theory assumption based on reading of great amount of TCM classics and literatures about insomnia.2In clinical research comparison,60cases of insomnia patients are divided into treatment group and control group by the means of random simple digital method, with each group30cases. The treatment group patients are guaided and treated by the method of WEI-QI running theory pattern, while the control group patients are treated by the method of traditional acupuncture therapy. The course is28days. Calculation and statistical analysis of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Self-Rating Scale of Sleep(SRSS) are made to be compared with and to evaluate the efficacy before and after the therapy.ResuIts1Before the therapy, comparison of two groups’agenda, age, course and syndrome types shows no statistical difference(P>0.05). The comparison can be proceed. And the PSQI and SRSS ratio before the therapy are also no statistical difference, the two groups are comparable.2After the therapy, about the overall effect, the treatment group is93.3%in effective rate, while the control group is83.3%. The difference of two groups’efficacy is statistical significant, which means the efficacy of treatment group is better the the control group’s.3After the therapy, the compared analysis on the calculation about PSQI of both groups, whose difference has statistical significance(p<0.05), shows that the improvement of overall index with the treatment group is better than the control group’s. The calculation analysis about two factors of falling-asleep period and sleeping efficiency of both groups shows that the difference of treatment group with control group has no statistical significance(P>0.05), while the improvement difference of other factors has statistical significance, which means the treatment group is obviously better than the control group in every other factor index of improving somnus besides the part of falling-asleep efficiency which has no big difference in both groups.4After the therapy, the compared analysis on the calculation about SRSS of both groups, whose difference has statistical significance(p<0.05), shows that the improvement of sleeping quality with the treatment group is better than the control group’s, which means the acupuncture method based on WEI-QI running theory is better than the traditional way in the side of improvement of sleeping quality which the patients can truly feel it themselves.Cone Iusi onThe acu-points chosen on the theory of WEI-QI running are to conditioning the WEI-QI running channel so as to combine the WEI-YANG with YING-YIN, to achieve the peace of yin and yang, hence the insomnia patient can improve the somnus. The traditional acupuncture points are to stimulate the special functional points to regulate the body QI movement. Though the traditional way have certain efficacy, it can’t compare with the method of WEI-QI running theory, because it does not link up the upper and the lower, not communicate the external and the internal, and fail to smooth the WEI-QI channel of five viscera and the six hollow organs. Through clinical research comparison, even though the two methods have no great difference in the side of falling-asleep efficiency, the long-term efficacy and the overall improvement of sleeping are better in the way of WEI-QI-running-theory acupuncture method.
