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
