Abstract: A total of 100 insomniacs were randomly divided into intervention and contrast groups (n=50 each).The contrast group took only alprazolam while the intervention group received both alprazolam and other comprehensive regimens,including acupuncture,psychotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine.One course of treatment lasted 10 days for both groups and 6 courses were offered.After comprehensive interventions,as compared with contrast group,the scores of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) decreased obviously in intervention group (P ＜ 0.05).And the curative rate (46％) and the total efficacious rate (96％) of intervention group were higher than those of contrast group (P ＜ 0.05).
