Clinical observation on the therapeutic effect of acupuncture combined with blood-pricking and cupping on cervical insomnia
Objective To analyze the clinical effect of acupuncture combined with blood-pricking and cupping on cervical insomnia.Methods 68 patients with cervical insomnia were divided into a study group and a conventional group by computer number extraction method,each with 34 cases.Patients in the conventional group were treated with conventional acupuncture,and patients in the study group were treated with acupuncture combined with blood-pricking and cupping.Patients in both groups were compared in terms of clinical effect after treatment,Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index(PSQI)score and sleep structure[sleep cycle,non-rapid eye movement(NREM)period and rapid eye movement sleep(REM)period]before and after treatment.Results The total effective rate of the study group was 97.06%,which was higher than 79.41%of the conventional group,and there was significant difference(P<0.05).After treatment,the scores of sleep quality,sleep latency,sleep time,sleep efficiency,sleep disorders,hypnotic drugs,and daytime dysfunction and total scores in the study group were(0.79±0.56),(0.86±0.44),(0.86±0.52),(0.66±0.48),(0.83±0.38),(0.31±0.47),(0.14±0.35)and(4.45±1.02)points,which were significantly lower than(1.07±0.26),(1.18±0.45),(1.18±0.48),(1.04±0.19),(1.04±0.19),(0.64±0.49),(0.42±0.50)and(6.57±0.69)points in the conventional group.There were significant differences(P<0.05).After treatment,the sleep cycles in the study group was(4.51±1.26)/night,which was less than(5.24±1.57)/night in the conventional group;the NREM period in the study group was(328.59±43.55)min and REM period was(88.55±20.68)min,which were longer than(292.17±65.92)and(60.39±18.49)min in the conventional group;there were significant differences(P<0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture combined with blood-pricking and cupping therapy can improve the sleep quality of patients,improve clinical efficacy,and improve the sleep structure of patients,with application value.
