Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of abdomen-relaxation-vibration therapy in treating refractory insomnia. Method Eighty patients with refractory insomnia were randomized into a treatment group (40 cases) and a control group (40 cases). The treatment group was intervened by abdomen-relaxation-vibration therapy, while the control group was intervened by oral administration of Diazepam prior to sleep. The clinical efficacy and change of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) in the two groups were observed. Result The scores of PSQI dropped significantly in both groups after the treatment (P<0.01), and the scores in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.01,P<0.05); the markedly effective rate and total effective rate were respectively 62.5% and 87.5% in the treatment group, significantly higher than 27.5% and 62.5% in the control group, and there was a significant difference in the therapeutic efficacy between the two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion Abdomen-relaxation-vibration therapy is effective in treating refractory insomnia, and it's easy-to-operate and safe.
