The therapeutic effects, Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) scores, visual analogue scale (VAS) and the satisfaction of patients in the three groups were compared. Results After treatment for two courses, there was no significant difference in the total effective rates among the three groups (P > 0.05). After treatment, the scores of daytime dysfunction, hypnotic, sleep disorder, sleep efficiency, sleeping time, fall-sleep time, sleep quality and total scores in the three groups were all lower than those before treatment, the differences were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05), while there was no signficant difference among the three groups after treatment (P ＞ 0.05). After treatment, the scores of VAS in the three groups were significantly lower than those before treatment (P ＜ 0.05), and the VAS score in the needle-knife + drug group was significantly lower than that of drug group after treatment (P ＜ 0.05). After treatment, the degree of satisfaction in needle-knife group and needle-knife + drug group was higher than that of drug group, the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).
