Methods: Seventy-six patients with insomnia were randomly divided into 38 cases in the treatment group and 38 cases into the control group. The main acupoints for the treatment group were Baihui (GV 20), Shenmen (HT 7), and Sanyinjiao (SP 6). The additional acupoints were Yintang (Ex-HN 3), Anmian (Ex-HN 22), Shenmai (BL 62), Zhaohai (KI 6), Neiguan (PC 6), Jueyinshu (BL 14), Xinshu (BL 15), Pishu (BL 20), Weishu (BL 21), Danshu (BL 19). The treatment was given by acupuncture plus moxibustion. Suspending moxibustion by moxa stick was used over the main acupoints. And the additional acupoints were punctured routinely. The main acupoints for the control group were Baihui (GV 20), Shenmen (HT 7), and Sanyinjiao (SP 6), Yintang (Ex-HN 3), Anmian (Ex-HN 22), Shenmai (BL 62), and Zhaohai (KI 6). The additional acupoints were Jueyinshu (BL 14), Xinshu (BL 15), Pishu (BL 20), Weishu (BL 21), Danshu (BL 19). The treatment was given by acupuncture routinely. The therapeutic effects were compared in the change of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), therapeutic effect and therapeutic courses. Results: The treatment group was better than the control group in PSQI change, therapeutic effect and therapeutic course (P〈0.05). There was no adverse reaction. Conclusion: Acupuncture plus moxibustion has a better therapeutic effect for insomnia.展开更多
