Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Tongdu Tiaoren Acupuncture Method combined with five-element music therapy in treating insomnia of heart-spleen deficiency type.Methods Sixty patients diagnosed with insomnia of heart-spleen deficiency type were enrolled from the Rehabilitation Department and Outpatient Clinic of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Chinese Medicine between January 2023 and June 2024.Patients were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group using a random number table with 30 cases in each group.The control group received Tianmeng Capsules,while the observation group received Tongdu Tiaoren Acupuncture Method combined with five-element music therapy.Both groups were treated for 4 weeks.After one month of treatment,clinical efficacy was evaluated,and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI)scores,traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome scores were observed,and serum levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT)and dopamine(DA)were compared before and after treatment.Safety and adverse events were also assessed.Results(1)During the study,no dropouts occurred in the observation group,while one patient was lost to follow-up in the control group.Ultimately,30 cases in the observation group and 29 cases in the control group were included in the efficacy analysis.(2)The total effective rate was 93.33%(28/30)in the observation group and 72.41%(21/29)in the control group,with statistically significant superiority in the observation group(P＜0.05).(3)After treatment,both groups showed significant improvements in PSQI scores and TCM syndrome scores(P＜0.05),with the observation group demonstrating significantly greater improvements than the control group,the difference being statistically significant(P＜0.05).(4)Serum 5-HT and DA levels were significantly improved in both groups(P＜0.05),with the observation group showing superior outcomes compared to the control group(P＜0.05),the difference being statistically significant.Conclusion Tongdu Tiaoren Acupuncture Method combined with five-element music therapy significantly improves clinical symptoms,enhances sleep quality,and increases quality of life in patients with insomnia of heart-spleen deficiency type,demonstrating notable therapeutic efficacy.
