The Efficacy Of Acupuncture At An-Mian Points For Insomnia And The Influence Of Eeg Alpha

Objective:To observe the clinical curative effect of acupuncture an-mian points in patients with insomnia and its impact on EEG alpha waves.Methods:Selected 60 people who conform to the standards of the insomnia patients in heilongjiang university of traditional chinese medicine affiliated first hospital outpatient service, those are divided into two groups randomly, treatment group and control group, each group has 30 patients with insomnia.The treatment group treated by acupuncture the bilateral an-mian points, Insomnia patients treated with acupuncture once a day, every 30 minutes; A period of treatment is 10 days, A total of two course of treatment.
