Methods： Seventy-two patients were randomized into a treatment group and a control group by using the random number table, 36 cases each. The treatment group received acupuncture plus bloodletting therapy, while the control group was intervened by oral administration of estazolam. One-week treatment was taken as a course, for 3 successive courses in total. A follow-up study was conducted 3 months later. The Pittsburgh sleep quality index （PSQI） was evaluated before and after the intervention, as well as in the follow-up. The clinical efficacies were also compared. Results： The total effective rate was 88.9% in the treatment group versus 83.3% in the control group, and the between-group difference was statistically significant （P〈0.O5）. After the intervention, the PSO.I scores dropped significantly in both groups （both P〈0.05）; the between-group difference in PSQI score was statistically significant （P〈O.05）. The follow-up study showed that the between-group difference in the global score of PSO, I was statistically significant （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： Acupuncture plus bloodletting therapy can produce a more significant efficacy than oral administration of estazolam in treating insomnia in people with blood stasis constitution.展开更多

Methods： 70 patients were randomly divided into two groups, 35 cases in the treatment group, managed by thunder-fire moxibustion and acupuncture, 35 cases in the control group, managed by single acupuncture treatment. Results： The results showed cure in 8 cases, remarkable effect in 15 cases, effect in 10 cases, failure in 2 cases and the total effective rate in 91.4% in the treatment group, and cure in 4 cases, remarkable effect in 11 cases, effect in 11 cases, failure in 9 cases, and the total effective rate in 74.2% in the control group. The difference is statistically significant in comparison of the total effective rates between the two groups （P 〈 0.05）. Conclusion： Thunder-fire moxibustion gives a better therapeutic effect in the acupuncture treatment of insomnia in heart-spleen deficiency.展开更多

Methods： A total of 152 subjects were randomized in visit sequence into two groups： a treatment group in which 76 cases were treated by application of Jiao Tai Pill on point Shenque （CV 8） and a control group in which 76 cases were treated by oral administration of Jiao Tai Pill, both with a course of four weeks. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index （PSQI） was used to evaluate the clinical efficacy respectively before treatment, at one-week, two-week and four-week treatment, and one week, two weeks and four weeks after treatment. Results： After four-week treatment, the sleep quality had improved in both groups, with no statistical difference between the two groups; there was no side-effect and the sleep quality kept improving thereafter. Conclusion： Application of Jiao Tai Pill on point Shenque （CV 8） and oral administration of Jiao Tai Pill both have positive effects on insomnia and no apparent withdrawal reaction after treatment.展开更多
