Objective:To analyze the effect of auricular point compression combined with acupoint application on sleep quality in patients with vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis.Methods:A total of 78 patients with vertebral artery type cervical spondy-losis admitted to the first section of Orthopedics and Traumatology Department of Xiamen Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from February 2023 to July 2023 were selected as research objects,and were divided into control group and observation group ac-cording to random number table method,with 39 cases in each group.The control group was given routine rehabilitation treatment,and the observation group was added with auricular point pressure and acupoint application on the basis of the control group.Cervical spine Dysfunction Index(NDI)was used to compare the cervical spine recovery of the two groups before and after the intervention;Numerical pain Evaluation Scale(NRS)was used to compare the pain degree of the two groups before and after the intervention;Pittsburgh Sleep Quality(PSQI)was used to evaluate the changes in sleep quality of the two groups before and after the intervention.Assens Insomnia Scale(AIS)was used to evaluate the sleep disorder status of the two groups.Results:After the intervention,the NRS score,PSQI score,AIS score of Athens insomnia Scale and NDI score of cervical spine Dysfunction In-dex scale in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group,the differences between the two groups were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion:The combination of auricular point compression and acupoint application in patients with spondylotic cervical spondylosis may improve the function of cervical vertebra and sleep quality,and is worthy of clinical recommendation.
