Observation on clinical effect of auricular acupoint sticking plus music therapy for post-stroke insomnia

Objective To observe the clinical effect of auricular acupoint sticking plus music therapy for post-stroke insomnia. Methods A total of 154 cases with post-stroke insomnia were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group by the random digital table, 77 cases in each group. The control group was treated by auricular acupoint sticking, while the observation group was treated by auricular acupoint sticking plus music therapy, to compare the clinical effects at the end of the treatment and three months after the treatment between the two groups. Results At the end of treatment, the total effective rate was 98.7% in the observation group, remarkably higher than 89.6% in the control group, with a statistically significant difference between the two groups ( P <0.05). Three months after the end of the treatment, the total effective rate was 90.9% in the observation group, remarkably higher than 80.5% in the control group, with a statistically significant difference between the two groups ( P <0.05).
