Abstract:Objective To observe the clinical effect of acupuncture combined with Modified Wendan Decoction in the treatment of insomnia with syndrome of phlegm-heat attacking heart. Methods According to the random number table method, 64 cases of insomnia patients with syndrome of phlegm-heat attacking heart admitted to Department of Psychiatry, Hubei Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2016 to June 2017 were randomly divided into observation group and control group, with 32 cases in each group. The control group was treated with Estazolam Tablets orally. Based on control group, the observation group was treated with acupuncture combined with Modified Wendan Decoction. After 3 weeks of treatment, the changes of main sleep parameters (sleep latency, sleep efficiency, total sleep time), Pittsburgh sleep quality index scale (PSQI) (sleep efficiency, fall-sleep time, sleep time, sleep disorder, daytime function) of the two groups before and after treatment were observed, and the clinical effect of the two groups was compared. Results After treatment, the total effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Compared with those before treatment, the sleep latency of the two groups was significantly decreased (P < 0.05), the sleep efficiency and total sleep time were significantly increased, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05), and the improvement of the above sleep indexes in the observation group were all significantly better than those of the control group (P < 0.05). The scores of fall-sleep time, sleep time, sleep efficiency, sleep disorder, and daytime function in the two groups after treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05), and the scores of PSQI indexes above in the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion Acupuncture combined with Modified Wendan Decoction can improve the sleep quality of insomnia patients with syndrome of phlegm-heat attacking heart, and relieve clinical symptoms.
