Observation on the curative effect of acupuncture at Lv's pair acupoints on perimenopausal insomnia
Objective:To observe the clinical curative effect of acupuncture at Lv's pair acupoints on perimenopausal insomnia(PMI).Methods:111 PMI patients were randomly divided into 3 groups with 37 cases in each group.Patients in the Lv's pair acupoints group(1 case dropped off)were treated with acupuncture on pair acupoints,and patients in the con-ventional acupuncture group were treated with acupuncture on routine acupoints for insomnia.The patients in the two groups were treated 3 times a week.Patients in the western medication group(excluding 1 case)were treated with oral combined estrogen tablets for once a day.The treatment course of 3 groups was 4 weeks.As the main curative effect index,the Pitts-burgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI)was used to evaluate the subjective sleep quality of the patients.As a secondary curative effect index,sleep process and sex hormone levels tested by polysomnography(PSG)were tested to monitor the objective sleep quality of patients.Results:Compared with those before treatment,PSQI scores of the 3 groups were all decreased af-ter treatment,and Lv's pair acupoints group score was lower than that of conventional acupuncture group and western medi-cation treatment group,with statistical significance(P<0.05).The total effective rate of Lv's pair acupoints group was 91.7%,which was higher than that of conventional acupuncture group and western medication treatment group,and the dif-ference was statistically significant(P<0.05).After treatment,PSG monitoring results showed that the sleep progress of pa-tients in the 3 groups was improved compared with that before treatment,and all indicators were improved.Especially,the indexes of the Lv's pair acupoints group were improved more obviously after treatment,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion:Lv's pair acupoints have more significant clinical efficacy in the treatment of PMI than conventional acupuncture and western medication,which is worthy of further research and application.
