督脉压痛点埋线法治疗顽固性失眠临床观察

Clinical Observation of Thread Embedding at Tender Points on the Governor Vessel for Intractable Insomnia

目的观察督脉压痛点埋线法治疗顽固性失眠的效果。方法将纳入标准的80例患者随机分成两组,埋线组用督脉压痛点埋线法治疗,针刺组用普通针刺穴位治疗。结果埋线组愈显率(72.5%)明显高于针刺组(45.0%)(P<0.05)。与同组治疗前比较,两组PSQI评分都有降低(P<0.05);与针刺组治疗后比较,埋线组PSQI显著降低,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论督脉压痛点埋线法治疗顽固性失眠比普通针刺治疗疗效更确切,可以更有效地改善睡眠质量。

Objective To observe the efficacy of thread embedding at tender points on the Governor Vessel in treating intractable insomnia. Method Eighty eligible subjects were randomized into two groups. The thread embedding group was intervened by thread embedding at tender points on the Governor Vessel, while the acupuncture was by ordinary acupuncture. Result The recovery and markedly effective rate in the thread embedding group（72.5%） was markedly higher than that in the acupuncture group（45.0%）. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index（PSQI） scores were significantly lower after intervention in both groups（P〈0.05）; the PSQI score in the thread embedding group was significantly lower than that in the acupuncture group after intervention（P〈0.05）. Conclusion Thread embedding at tender points on the Governor Vessel can produce a more significant efficacy than ordinary acupuncture in treating intractable insomnia, and it can more effectively improve sleep quality.
