Effects of evodia rutaecarpa acupoint application combined with auricular point pressing beans on blood pressure level and sleep quality in patients with hypertension and insomnia
Objective To explore the effects of evodia rutaecarpa acupoint application combined with auricular point pressing beans on blood pressure level and sleep quality in patients with hypertension and insomnia.Methods A total of 120 patients with hypertension and insomnia who were treated from June 2019 to June 2022 were selected and divided into control group and observation group by random number table method,with 60 cases in each group.The control group was intervened by auricular point pressing beans on the basis of routine nursing,and the observation group was intervened by evodia rutaecarpa acupoint application combined with auricular point pressing beans on the basis of routine nursing.The inflammatory factors and vascular endothelial function indexes,blood pressure level,sleep quality,depression status and quality of life were compared between the two groups.Results After nursing,the levels of endothelin-1(ET-1)and 5-hydroxy tryptamine(5-HT)in the observation group were lower than those in the control group,and the levels of calcitonin gene related peptide(CGRP)and dopamine(DA)were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).After nursing,the diastolic blood pressure and systolic blood pressure in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).After nursing,the scores of each dimension of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI)in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).After nursing,the score of Self-Rating Depression Scale(SDS)in the observation group was lower than that in the control group,and the score of quality of life scale in patients with Duchenne hypertension was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The evodia rutaecarpa acupoint application combined with auricular point pressing beans applied in patients with hypertension and insomnia can effectively improve their inflammatory factors and vascular endothelial function,reduce blood pressure levels,and further improve their sleep quality,decline depression and increase quality of life.
