摘要
目的
观察穴位埋线治疗心脾两虚型失眠症的临床疗效。
方法
将60 例患者随机分为针刺组和埋线组, 每组30 例。 针刺组予针刺治疗, 埋线组予穴位埋线治疗。 治疗前及治疗1 个疗程后采用匹兹堡睡眠质量指数(Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, PSQI)量表进行评分。
结果
针刺组总有效率86.7%, 埋线组总有效率96.7%。 治疗后, 两组PSQI 评分与治疗前均有统计学差异(P<0.01); 治疗后两组比较也有统计学差异(P<0.01)。
结论
针刺和穴位埋线法均能有效改善患者的睡眠质量, 但穴位埋线法耗时少、 刺激持久、 方便易行。
Abstract
Objective
To observe the clinical effect of thread-embedding therapy in treating insomnia due to heart-spleen deficiency.
Methods
Sixty patients were randomized into an acupuncture group and a thread-embedding group, 30 in each. The acupuncture group was managed by acupuncture therapy, and the thread-embedding group was treated by thread-embedding therapy. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was adopted for evaluation before and after treatments.
Results
The total effective rate was 86.7% in the acupuncture group versus 96.7% in the thread-embedding group. After treatment, the PSQI scores were significantly different from those before treatment in both groups (P<0.01); the scores in both two groups were markedly different from each other after treatment (P<0.01).
Conclusion
Both acupuncture and thread-embedding therapies can effectively improve sleep quality of the patients, while thread-embedding therapy is comparatively less time-consuming, more convenient and with longer stimulation.
