Abstract
- Objective: To observe the clinical effect of acupuncture for perimenopausal early-wake insomnia.<br />Methods: A total of 60 patients with perimenopausal early-wake insomnia were randomly divided into an observation group (30 cases, 3 cases dropped off) and a control group (30 cases, 2 cases dropped off, 2 cases were removed). In the observation group, acupuncture was applied at Baihui (GV 20), Yintang (GV 24 <superscript>+</superscript> ), Anmian (Extra), Hegu (LI 4), Shenmen (HT 7), Taichong (LR 3), Taixi (KI 3), etc., once every other day, 3 times a week. In the control group, oryzanol tablets were taken orally, 20 mg each time, 3 times a day. Both groups were treated for 4 weeks. Before and after treatment, the sleep actigraphy (ACT) was used to measure the effective sleep time, sleep quality, wake-up time, wake-up frequency, each wake-up time, and the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) score and early-wake score were compared in the two groups, and the clinical effect was assessed.<br />Results: After treatment, compared before treatment, the effective sleep time was prolonged and the sleep quality was improved ( P <0.05), the wake-up time, each wake-up time were shortened and wake-up frequency was decreased ( P <0.05), the PSQI score and early-wake score were decreased ( P <0.05) in the observation group. After treatment, the wake-up frequency, PSQI score and early-wake score were decreased in the control group ( P <0.05). The effective sleep time, sleep quality, wake-up time, wake-up frequency, each wake-up time, PSQI score and early-wake score after treatment in the observation group were superior to the control group ( P <0.05). The total effective rate was 88.9% (24/27) in the observation group, which was higher than 38.5% (10/26) in the control group ( P <0.05).<br />Conclusion: Acupuncture can increase the effective sleep time and improve sleep quality in patients with perimenopausal early-wake insomnia.
