Methods： Totally 100 eligible patients were randomized into a treatment group （n=51） and a control group （n=49） by using the random number table. The treatment group was intervened by acupuncture at Baihui （GV 20）, Fengchi （GB 20）, Wangu （GB 12）, Shenting （GV 24）, Anmian [Extra, locates at the midpoint between Yiming （EX-HN 14） and Fengchi （GB 20）], and Neiguan （PC 6） plus tuina treatment; the control group was intervened by acupuncture alone. For both groups, the treatment was given once a day, 10 sessions as a treatment course, and the efficacies were evaluated and compared after 3 treatment courses. Results： Of the 51 subjects in the treatment group, 46 cases completed 3 treatment courses, and 17 cases were cured, 18 cases showed marked efficacy, 7 cases were improved, 4 cases had invalid result, and the total effective rate was 91.3%. Of the 49 subjects in the control group, 46 cases completed 3 treatment courses, and 8 cases were cured, 12 cases showed marked efficacy, 14 cases were improved, 12 cases had invalid result, and the total effective rate was 73.9%. The total effective rate of the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： Acupuncture plus tuina can calm the mind and activate meridian qi in treating insomnia, and it can produce a more significant efficacy than pure acupuncture treatment.展开更多
