Abstract:
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of auricular point sticking with magnetic bead in treating insomnia in hepatocirrhosis patients. Method Ninety patients with hepatocirrhosis complicated with insomnia were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 45 in each group. The treatment group was intervened by auricular point sticking with magnetic bead, while the control group was by auricular point sticking with medical adhesive tape. After successive 2-week treatments, the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) and the Evaluation Criteria of Therapeutic Efficacy for Mental Disorders were observed for evaluating the treatment result. Result The ISI was significantly improved in the treatment group after intervention (P<0.05), and the improvement was significantly different from that in the control group (P<0.05). The total effective rate was 86.7% in the treatment group versus 60.0% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). Conclusion Auricular point sticking with magnetic bead is easy-to-operate and can produce a satisfactory efficacy in treating insomnia of hepatocirrhosis patients.
