The Effect of Point Pressing Ear Acupoint Pressing Bean Combined with Five Elements Music Intervention on Traditional Chinese Medicine Symptom Score and Sleep Quality in Insomnia Patients with Heart and Spleen Deficiency after Cerebral Infarction
Objective To explore the application value of point pressure method combined with five element music intervention on insomnia caused by heart and spleen deficiency after cerebral infarction.Methods 82 patients with heart and spleen deficiency and insomnia after cerebral infarction admitted to our hospital from June 2021 to June 2023 were selected as the research subjects,divided into a control group and an observation group using a random number table method,with 41 cases in each group.The control group received five element music intervention,on the basis of the control group,the observation group added the ear point pressing bean therapyt,both groups received continuous intervention for 4 weeks.Compare the sleep quality,traditional Chinese medicine symptom scores,psychological status,and quality of life between two groups.Results After intervention,the sleep latency and awakening time of the observation group were(40.23±4.35)min and(63.42±5.21)min,respectively,which were shorter than the control group's(45.48±4.77)min and(70.16±6.15)min,the total sleep time was(7.98±1.24)h,which was longer than the control group's(6.57±1.18)h,the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index score was(5.58±1.02)points,which was lower than the control group's(7.19±1.24)points,the difference between groups were statistically significant(P<0.05);the observation group had scores of(0.65±0.12)points,(0.57±0.11)points,(0.68±0.13)points,and(0.62±0.11)points for frequent dreaming,palpitations,dizziness,and fatigue,respectively,which were lower than the control group's(0.87±0.14)points,(0.74±0.13)points,(0.82±0.15)points,and(0.78±0.14)points,respectively,the differences between groups were statistically significant(P<0.05);the Self-rating Anxiety Scale score and Self-rating Depression Scale score of the observation group were(38.52±4.18)points and(39.75±4.21)points,respectively,lower than the control group's(43.69±4.25)points and(45.63±4.45)points,the differences between groups were statistically significant(P<0.05);the observation group scored(89.63±5.37)points,(87.74±5.25)points,(89.85±5.48)points,and(91.58±4.14)points in the fields of physiology,psychology,social relations,and environment,respectively,which were higher than the control group's(82.15±5.25)points,(80.43±5.19)points,(82.55±5.23)points,and(83.51±5.35)points,the differences between groups were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The combination of acupoint pressing and bean pressing with Five Elements Music intervention can improve the sleep quality of insomnia patients with heart and spleen deficiency after cerebral infarction,reduce traditional Chinese medicine symptom scores,alleviate psychological burden,and improve quality of life.
