Insomnia is the important factor affecting people's lives. The long-term lacking of sleep can not only affects people's daily life, but also can lead to a variety of mental illness. With the development of society, the life and working styles of people have changed a lot, and the number of patients with insomnia is increasing. However, the main therapy of insomnia is the Western medicine with calming and sedative efficacy. This kind of medicine has side effects, and long-term application can cause resistance and addiction. This article introduced the fourth batch of 100 old TCM doctors Professor CUI Shu-sheng's profound understanding of insomnia etiology and pathogenesis. Combined with the function features of Tuina, he summarized the Ten Methods of head massage. The Ten Methods of head massage has the characteristics which are light but not float, heavy but not hurt, and gentle and strong. The main operation places are head and face; thus, it can relieve the scalp and dredge qi and blood of head and face. Because the doctor can guide patients to calm down and focus on their public region and soothe their body, it has the effects of harmonizing yin and yang, calming, and soothing.

Objective To investigate anterior longitudinal ligaments (ALL) ossified surrounding osteotomy vertebra impact the lordosing effect of pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) in patients with thoracolumbar kyphosis secondary to ankylosing spondylitis (AS).Methods We retrospectively reviewed 102 AS patients with thoracolumbar kyphosis treated with single-level PSO at our institution from September 2007 to August 2015.There were 92 male and 10 female.The average age was (35.6±11.8)years old (range from 17 to 65 years old).Patients were stratified into ossified group (54 cases) and non-ossified group (48 cases)based on the presence of ALL ossification adjacent to osteotomy vertebra.Compared the contribution of adjacent disc wedging to total correction of each PSO segment between the ossified and non-ossified groups.The long-term correction loss of spine and pelvic sagittal morphology were also evaluated and compared between the 2 groups.Results Patients in the ossified group accomplished significantly lower amount of correction in single level segment of PSO (36.3°±6.9° vs.41.5°±6.9°),and there was significant difference between the two groups.The contribution of adjacent disc wedging to total correction of PSO was significantly larger in the non-ossified group (22.9％ vs.7.8％,P＜0.001).For subgroups with a minimum 2 year follow-up,loss of corrections concerned sagittal vertical axis (SVA),which was (1.7±4.5) cm vs.(-0.2±4.0) cm in ossified group and non-ossified group,and there was significant difference between the two groups.Pelvic tilt (PT) was 3.5°±8.2° vs.2.0°± 10.4°,lumbar lordosis (LL) was-7.9°±11.9° vs.-0.1°± 11.9° and sacral slope (SS) was 4.5°±9.3° vs.1.6°±7.9°,and there were all significant differences between the two groups.The change of adjacent disc wedging angle was marginally higher in the unossified group (-2.1°±6.2° vs.-0.1°±3.7°,P=0.09),but there was no significant difference between the two groups.No significant correction loss of osteotomy angle was observed in both groups.Conclusion Osteotomy vertebrae accompanied by unossified adjacent ALL in PSO of AS were prone to create more disc-originated lordosing effect immediately after surgery.However,a correction loss might occur more commonly during a long term follow-up.
