The Clinical Observation Of The Combination Of Acupuncture With Herbs On The Treatment Of Insomnia Caused Bychronic Cerebral Circulation Insufficiency

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effect and safety of electro-acupuncture with herbs on insomnia caused by chronic cerebral circulation insufficiency.MethodDivide the chosen cases into curative group and comparison group randomly. Each of them contains thirty cases and the course of treatment lasts for two weeks. And offer the same fundamental treatment for the two group. For curative group, we combine acupuncture with herbs to ameliorate sleep while using estazolam for the comparison group. By using SPIEGEL scale, evaluate the sleep condition of the two groups before treatment, after it and follow-up visits two weeks later. Analysis all of factors appearing in the SPIEGEL scale and then evaluate the relevant Chinese traditional medicine symptom. Observe ameliorative condition of two groups.ResultThere doesn’t exist significant difference in course of disease, age, gender and scores before the treatment between these two groups (P>0.05). No attrition and behavior of rejecting cases happened during the experimental progress. At the end of the treatment, the total effective rate of curative group is93.33%while the comparison group is86.67%. No obvious curative difference between them (P>0.05). At follow-up visits, the total effective rate of curative group is93.33%while the comparison group is20%. There appears significant difference between the two groups (P<0.01).Factors analysis resultAll terms exist significant difference throughout comparisons before and after the treatment (P<0.01). No difference appears at the end of the treatment between groups (P>0.05). All terms are obviously different except for the observation group’s sleep time by making comparison at follow-up visits and before treatment (P>0.05) Any other term is also obviously different(P<0.01) except for the observation group’s sleep time by making relevant group comparison at follow-up visits(P>0.05). Both of two groups can be effective for ameliorating sleep quality and the effect is nearly the same. But the long-dated curative effect in observation group is better than that in comparison group.Chinese traditional medicine symptom evaluation resultThere exists difference when making comparison at the end of treatment of two group’s (P<0.05). There comes significant difference when making comparison at the follow-up visits of the two groups and observation group’s with before treatment (P<0.01). No difference occurs when making comparison at observation group’s follow-up visits and before treatment (P>0.05) Each of two groups can ameliorate relevant CCCI symptoms. But result of observation group is better than that of comparison group.Conclusion1.The combination method of electro-acupuncture with herbs for the treatment of insomnia caused by CCCI can make certain curative effect and its effect is safe and stable. The curative effect can still remain after stopping the cure.2.The combination method of elec-acupuncture with herbs can also make significant curative effect on relevant symptoms of CCCI. This method might have the function to ameliorate cerebral blood supply.3.The combination method of elec-acupuncture with herbs can not only ameliorate the patient’s sleep condition, but also improve CCCI relevant symptoms. It reflects the multilevel and multiple target point advantage about the combination of elec-acupuncture with herbs.
