Clinical Effect Observation Of Lingnan Fire Needle On Chronic Insomnia

ObjectiveThrough clinical randomized controlled trials,after comparing acupuncture point stab lingnan fire needle with common acupuncture treatment of chronic insomnia sleep and daytime mental condition of the patient.Seek more effective method for the treatment of chronic insomnia.MethodsThis is a clinical study.A total of 64 cases,divided into experimental group and control group by random number table,32 cases in each group.4 cases were dropped out of the study.Finally,60 cases were finished including 30 cases in the experimental group and 30 cases in the control group.In the experimental group,lingnan fire needle combined with acupuncture was used.Fire needle acupoint selection:GV 20;EX-HN 1.Acupoint selection:EX-HN 1,An mian,HT 7,SP 6,BL 62,KI 6.The control group was treated with acupuncture and acupoint selection was the same as the experimental group.The course of treatment was 4 weeks,once every 3 days for 10 times of treatment.The Pittsburgh sleep scale(PSQI)and Epworth sleepiness scale(ESS)were used before and after treatment to assess the patient' s sleep status and daytime mental status.Results(1)before treatment,there were no significant differences in the number of patients,gender,age,course of disease,PSQI scale and ESS scale scores between the two groups(P>0.05),indicating comparability between the two groups.(2)comparison of PSQI scale and intra-group comparison showed that the PSQI scale score of the two groups decreased significantly after treatment(P=0.001<0.05),suggesting that both groups could significantly improve the sleep condition of patients.After treatment,there was a significant difference between the experimental group and the control group in improving the PSQI scale score(P<0.05),suggesting that the treatment group could improve the PSQI scale score to a greater extent than the control group.(3)comparison of Epworth scale scores and intra-group comparison showed that the ESS scale scores of the two groups decreased significantly after treatment(P=0.001<0.05),indicating that both treatments could improve the patients,daytime function.Compared with the control group,there were significant differences in ESS scale score improvement between the experimental group and the control group after treatment(P<0.05).These results suggest that the treatment group can improve ESS score more than the control group.(4)compared with the clinical efficacy,there was no significant difference in the total effective rate between the treatment group and the control group after treatment(P>0.05).Conclusion(1)lingnan fire acupuncture after acupuncture has a clear therapeutic effect on chronic insomnia(2)lingnan fire acupuncture after acupuncture has more advantages than general acupuncture in improving sleep and daytime function in treating chronic insomnia.
