Research Of Clinical Effect On Treating Insomnia Of Yang-deficiency Constitution With Acupuncture At Heat Sensitive Acupoint

Objective:This study observes and compares the clinical effect of acupuncture at heat sensitive acupoint with conventional acupuncture treatment in treating insomnia of yang-deficiency constitution.Method:Our study randomly divided the seventy patients into two groups.One group was tresated with acupuncture at heat sensitive acupoint,the another group with conventional acupuncture,once a day,five times a week as a couse of treatment,a total of 4 courses.The PSQI?ISI?SAS?SDS and Subscale score of yang-deficiency constitution were adopted as observation indexes to compare the change before and after intervention.One month after the intervention,the PSQI scale was used for follow-up.Result:1.The total effective proportion: The efficiency of the test group and control group was 88.23% and 81.25%.2.PSQI score:After the end of treatment,the total score of PSQI and the scores of each factor in the two groups all reduced(P<0.01).The effect of the test group was better than that of the control group on the total score of PSQI,sleep quality,sleep latency,sleep disorders,and daytime function improvement,with Statistically significant(P<0.05).the follow-up wintin the two groups,the total PSQI score had not obvious change(P>0.05),the total score of PSQI of the test group was better than that of the control group.3.Subscale score of yang-deficiency constitution:After the end of treatment,Subscale score of yang-deficiency constitution in the two groups both reduced(P<0.01).The effect of the total effective was better than that of the control group,with Statistically significant(P<0.05).4.the total ISI scores: After the end of treatment,The total ISI scores in the two groups both reduced(P<0.01).The effect of the total effective was better than that ofthe control group,with Statistically significant(P<0.05).5.SAS and SDS standard score: After the end of treatment,SAS and SDS standard score in the two groups both reduced(P<0.01).The effect of both two groups had no difference(P>0.05).Conclusion:1.Both acupuncture at heat sensitive acupoint and conventional acupuncture can have the clinical effects on improving sleep quality and the levels of anxiety and depression of insomnia of yang-deficiency constitution pacitent to some extence.2.Comparing with conventional acupuncture,the acupuncture at heat sensitive acupoint treating the insomnia of yang-deficiency constitution pacitent has better clinical therapeutic effect and long-term effect with fewer acupuncture points,and has great advantage in improving sleep quality,sleep latency,sleeping time,sleep disorders,and daytime f dysfunction.
