Clinically, it is often categorized into two main types: primary insomnia and secondary insomnia. In recent years, the mechanism of insomnia has been proved to be related to the brain nerves, but its underlying endocrine mechanism is still unclear. Based on the frontier progress of the neuro-endocrine-immune mechanism of insomnia at home and abroad, this paper discusses the endocrine mechanism of insomnia from the aspects of regulating neurotransmitters, regulating endocrine hormones and regulating immune cytokines, summarizes the potential connection between common clinical methods of Chinese medicine for treating insomnia and the endocrine mechanism, and concludes the unique advantages of Chinese medicine in treating insomnia.展开更多
