Observation On The Effect Of Insomnia And Thyroid Antibodies In Primary Hypothyroidism Patients With Herbs-partitioned Moxibustion On The Navel

Objective: To observe the clinical effect of herb-partitioned moxibustion on the navel for Insomnia and Thyroid antibodies in Primary hypothyroidism patients,and provide the clinical basis for treating primary hypothyroidism.Methods: 40 Primary hypothyroidism patients were divided into a treatment group and a control group randomly,20 in each group.The treatment group adopted herb-partitioned moxibustion on the navel and the control group adopted starch-partitioned moxibustion on the navel.The observation period was 3 months.The Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI)scores and laboratory data of thyroid antibodies of the patients in the two groups before and after treatment were recorded to compare the differences between the two groups.Results:1.The treatment group can improve the insomnia symptom of the patients with primary hypothyroidism completely.After treatment,the total score of PSQI and 7 components were significantly lower than those before the treatment.The control group can only improve the insomnia symptom of the patients with primary hypothyroidism partialy,such as PSQI total score,difficulty in falling asleep,hypnotic drugs and day function.In addition,compared to the control group,the PSQI total score,sleep quality,sleep time and sleep efficiency in the treatment group decreased significantly(P <0.01),while the reduction degree of these components:difficulty in falling asleep,sleep disturbance,hypnosis drugs and daytime functions are also greater than the control group.Which shows that the herb-partitioned moxibustion theropy is more effective in improving the insomnia symptom in patients with primary hypothyroidism than the starch-partitioned moxibustion theropy.2.Both the treatment group and the control group can reduce the level of TG Ab and TPO Ab in patients with primary hypothyroidism,but treatment group is greater than control group.Which shows that the advantage of herb-partitioned moxibustion theropy in deducing the level of TG Ab and TPO Ab in patients with primary hypothyroidism is more obvious than the starch-partitioned moxibustion theropy.Conclusion:The herb-partitioned moxibustion method can effectively improve insomnia symptom of the patients with primary hypothyroidism and regulate thyroid antibodies(TG Ab,TPO Ab)level,which is superior to the starch-partitioned moxibustion method.
