Effects of ear holographic copper needle scraping combined with ear pressure beans in treatment of insomnia patients
Objective:To observe effects of ear holographic copper needle scraping combined with ear pressure beans in treatment of insomnia patients.Methods:A prospective study was conducted on 200 patients with insomnia admitted to the hospital from May 2021 to March 2023.According to the random number table method,they were divided into control group and study group,100 cases in each group.The control group was treated with ear pressure beans,while the study group was treated with ear holographic copper needle scraping on the basis of the control group.The clinical efficacy,the TCM syndrome score,the insomnia[Assen insomnia scale(AIS)]score,the sleep quality[Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI)]score,and the clinical symptom index levels were compared between the two groups before and after the treatment.Results:The total effective rate of treatment in the study group was 95.00%(95/100),which was higher than 85.00%(85/100)in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).After the treatment,the scores of TCM syndromes such as dizziness,insomnia,dreaminess and fatigue in the study group were lower than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).After the treatment,the PSQI and AIS scores of the two groups were lower than those before the treatment,those in the study group were lower than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Further,the time required for falling asleep in the study group was shorter than that in the control group,the sleep maintenance time was longer than that in the control group,the number of nocturnal awakenings was less than that in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusions:Ear holographic copper needle scraping combined with ear pressure beans in the treatment of the insomnia patients can improve the total effective rate of treatment,improve the levels of clinical symptom indicators,and reduce the TCM syndrome scores,the insomnia scores and the sleep quality scores.Moreover,it is superior to single ear pressure beans treatment.
