Abstract:
Objective:To explore the therapeutic effect of acupuncture plus Zi Shen Tiao Gan (Kidney-reinforcing and Liver-regulating) Decoction for perimenopausal women with insomnia.
Methods:A total of 126 eligible cases were randomly divided into two groups, 63 cases in each group. Patients in the observation group were given acupuncture plus Zi Shen Tiao Gan (Kidney-reinforcing and Liver-regulating) Decoction. Those in the control group were treated with the same acupuncture treatment as the observation group. The therapeutic effects were assessed after continuous treatment for four weeks.
Results:The total effective rate was 96.8%in the observation group and 74.6%in the control group. The comparison of the total clinical effects between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.01). After treatment, the intra-group comparisons of SPIEGEL score were statistically significant in both groups (P<0.05, P<0.01);the inter-group comparison of SPIEGEL score difference between before and after treatment was statistically significant (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Acupuncture plus Zi Shen Tiao Gan (Kidney-reinforcing and Liver-regulating) Decoction for perimenopausal insomnia is affirmative in the therapeutic effect, and the therapeutic effect is better than simple acupuncture treatment.
