Methods Fifty three free combat athletes with insomnia were treated with acupuncture at "four gates"(LI 4 and LR 3). The treatment was given once daily, 5 days were one course. Flicker fusion frequency and clinical efficacy were evaluated after two courses.

Total effective rate was 92.45%(49/53) with a cure rate of 52.83%(29/53).
