Abstract:
Objective:To systematically evaluate effects of auricular acupoint pressing on improving perimenopausal insomnia.Methods:The randomized controlled trials of auricular plaster therapy to improve perimenopausal insomnia was searched by computer in domestic and foreign databases, and the search time was from the establishment of each database to October 25, 2018. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data and evaluated the risk of bias in the included literature and RevMan 5.3 analysis software was used for data analysis.Results:A total of 6 Chinese literatures were included. Meta-analysis results showed that there was no statistically significant difference in Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score reduction by auricular acupoint pressing compared with estazolam ( WMD=-0.06, 95% CI: -0.96-0.84, P=0.90) .Auricular acupoint pressing was better than Anshen Buxin capsule in reducing PSQI score ( WMD=-5.16, 95% CI: -7.37--2.95, P<0.000 01) . Auricular acupoint pressing could effectively improve perimenopausal insomnia, and the difference was statistically significant ( RR=1.19, 95% CI: 1.08-1.31, P=0.000 4) . Auricular acupoint pressing with beans combined with oral modified Huanglian Ejiao Decoction was better than oral modified Huanglian Ejiao Decoction alone in reducing Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) scores ( WMD=-2.60, 95% CI: -4.42--0.78, P=0.005) . Compared with modified Chaihu Guizhi Longgu Muli Decoction treatment, auricular acupoint pressing combined with modified Chaihu Guizhi Longgu Muli Decoction could effectively reduce the modified Kupperman score ( WMD=-4.07, 95% CI: -6.36--1.78, P=0.000 5) . In terms of reducing the scores of the social support scale, there was no statistically significant difference between the auricular acupoint pressing with beans and estazolam ( WMD=-0.16, 95% CI: -1.26-0.94, P=0.78) . Conclusions:Auricular acupoint pressing has advantages in improving the total effective rate, reducing PSQI score and AIS score and improving Kupperman score. Limited by the quantity and quality of the included literatures, more large-sample high-quality studies with long-term follow-ups are needed for verification.
