Clinical observation of traditional Chinese medicine aromatherapy combined with auricular point pressing beans in treatment of elderly type 2 diabetes patients with insomnia
Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)aromatherapy com-bined with auricular point pressing beans in the treatment of elderly type 2 diabetic patients with insomnia.Methods A total of 120 elderly patients with type 2 diabetes complicated with insomnia were randomly divided experimental group(n =60)and control group(n =60).Both groups were treated with low-sugar diet,oral hypoglycemic drugs or insulin injections.On the ba-sis of above,the experimental group was treated with TCM aromatic herb pillow and auricular point pressing beans,while the control group was treated with estazolam tablets.The course of treatment was 4 weeks and the follow-up was 2 months after the treatment.The scores of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI),Short Form of Quality of Life Scale(WHOQOL-BREF)and blood glucose were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.Results The total effective rate of the exper-imental group was significantly higher than that of the control group(P＜0.05).After treatment,compared with the control group,the blood glucose control level of the experimental group was significantly lower,and the PSQI score and WHOQOL-BREF score were significantly improved(P＜0.05).The recurrence rate of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion TCM aromatherapy combined with auricular point pressing beans can effectively improve the sleep quality of elderly type 2 diabetes patients with in-somnia,reduce the recurrence rate of insomnia,improve their quality of life,and improve the level of blood sugar control,which has certain clinical application value.
