Shushen Decoction Combined with Acupoint Cupping in the Treatment of Chronic Intractable Insomnia for 50 Cases
Objective To observe the clinical effect of Shushen decoction combined with Shenmen(HT7)and Sanyinjiao(SP6)acu-point cupping therapy on chronic intractable insomnia.Methods A total of 100 patients with chronic intractable insomnia with a course of more than 6 months were selected.They were randomly divided into treatment group and control group.The control group re-ceived routine treatment,and used Western medicine.The treatment group applied Shushen decoction,combined with Shenmen(HT7)and Sanyinjiao(SP6)acupoint cupping.The two groups were treated for 4 weeks and the therapeutic effect was observed.Results The cure rate of the treatment group was 64.0%(32/50),which was higher than that of the control group(8.0%,4/50),and the total effective rate of 100.0%(50/50),which was was higher than that of the control group(66.0%,33/50),and the difference was statistical signifi-cance(P<0.05).After treatment,HAMA and HAMD scores in the treatment group were significantly reduced compared with those be-fore treatment,the treatment group was lower than the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The PSQI score of the treatment group was significantly lower than that before treatment,the treatment group was lower than the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The SF-36 score in the treatment group was significantly higher than that be-fore treatment,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The treatment group was higher than the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The total incidence of adverse reactions in control group was 46.0%(23/50),which was higher than that in treatment group(2.0%,1/50),and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Shushen decoc-tion combined with Shenmen(HT7)and Sanyinjiao(SP6)acupoint cupping therapy in the treatment of chronic intractable insomnia has high safety and significant effect.
