A Clinical Study on the Treatment of Insomnia with Incompatibility between Heart and Kidney by Embedding Beans in Ear Points and Huanglian Ejiao Decoction

We attempt to discuss the clinical efficacy of ear-point burial combined with Huanglian Ejiao Decoction in the treatment of insomnia due to incompatibility between heart and kidney. We selected 120 patients diagnosed with heart-kidney incompatibility insomnia from Yichun Hospital of traditional Chinese medicine terminal disease treatment center as participants. Then randomly divided them into observation group and control group (n=60). Control group adopted Huanglian Ejiao Decoction frying before going to bed. Observation group, after receiving the same therapy as control group, then combined with ear point burial. Compared both groups on clinical effectiveness, traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score, etc., After treatment of both groups, observation group possessed remarkably lower traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score than control group (p<0.05) and clinical efficiency of observation group (95 %) was remarkably higher than control group (85 %) (p<0.05). Ear point burial combined with Huanglian Ejiao Decoction can effectively improve the sleep of insomnia patients with incompatibility between heart and kidney, and improve the clinical efficacy.
