Progress of clinical research on acupuncture therapy for insomnia after stroke
The clinical research progress of acupuncture in treating post-stroke insomnia at home and abroad in recent years was reviewed from the aspects of acupuncture alone and acupuncture combined with other therapies.It was found that acupuncture in the treatment of post-stroke insomnia has the advantages of significant efficacy and no dependence,but there are also shortcomings such as inconsistent point selection and acupuncture techniques,diffi-cult quantification and promotion,strong subjectivity in the evaluation of efficacy,and insufficient in-depth research on the mechanism of action.Therefore,studies should be strengthened in these aspects in the future to improve the clinical efficacy of acupuncture in the treatment of insomnia after stroke.
