was 28 days.After treatment,throughing observe the changes of PSQI score and TCM syndrome score,evaluated clinical efficacy.ResultsThe baseline data:In the end,59 patients were enrolled in this study,including the group of Guipi Decoction combined with auricular pressure 29 cases and the group of Guipi Decoction 30 cases.The average age of the group of Guipi Decoction combined With auricular pressure was 47.14±10.270 years old,and there were 12 men and 17 women;The average age of Guipi Decoction group was 48.73±10.531 years old,and there were 13 men and 17 women.There were no

PSQI score:After treatment,PSQI score and total points of the group of Guipi Decoction combined with auricular pressure and Guipi Decoction group lowered than before treatment,and difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).After treatment,in the group of Guipi Decoction combined with auricular pressure,sleep latency score was 0.93±0.923,Sleep efficiency score was 0.72±0.841,total score was 5.86±4.846,and in the Guipi Decoction group,sleep latency score was 1.50±0.900,Sleep efficiency score was 1.23±0.971,total score was 7.90±4.483,and there were significant differences between the two groups(P<0.05).The group of Guipi Decoction combined with auricular pressure was superior to the Guipi Decoction group in reducing PSQI score,sleep latency and sleep efficiency.The TCM syndrome score:After treatment.TCM syndrome score and total points of the group of Guipi Decoction combined with auricular pressure and Guipi Decoction group lowered than before treatment,and difference was

score,palpitation and anorexia.The clinical efficacy of insomnia:After treatment,there was no significant difference between the group of Guipi Decoction combined with auricular pressure and Guipi Decoction group in the clinical efficacy of insomnia,but in the group of Guipi Decoction combined with auricular pressure,6 patients recovery,the total effective rate was 89.66%.In Guipi Decoction

superior to only oral Chinese medicine in clinical efficacy of insomnia.The TCM syndrome efficacy of insomnia:After treatment,there was no significant difference between the group of Guipi Decoction combined with auricular pressure and Guipi Decoction group in the TCM syndrome efficacy of insomnia,but in the group of Guipi Decoction combined with auricular pressure,3 patients recovery,the total

medicine combined with auricular pressure was superior to only oral Chinese medicine in TCM syndrome efficacy of insomnia.ConclusionsOralling Guipi Decoction combined with auricular pressure and only oralling Guipi Decoction could effectively reduce PSQI score and TCM syndrome score,and there were significant efficacies to treat the heart and spleen deficiency type insomnia.Oralling Guipi Decoction combined with auricular pressure was superior to only oralling Guipi Decoction in reducing PSQI score,shortening sleep latency and improving sleep efficiency.Oralling Guipi Decoction combined with auricular pressure was superior to only oralling Guipi Decoction in reducing TCM syndrome score,ameliorating palpitation and anorexia.On the whole,the combined therapy of oralling Chinese medicine combined with auricular pressure has good clinical efficacy,and it deserves further application. |
