OBJECTIVE: To observe the impact of acupuncture on the subjective symptom, @entity25 and sleep efficiency in the @entity1 of @entity22 differentiated as @entity4559 in terms of the spleen and stomach theory. METHODS: Sixty @entity1 with @entity22 were divided into a spleen deficiency group and a @entity4559 group, 30 cases in each one. In the two groups, acupuncture was applied at Sishencong (EX-HN1), Shenmen (HT 7), Sanyinjiao ( @entity8949 ), Zusanli (ST 36) and Tianshu (ST 25). The treatment was given once every other day, five times as one course, and two courses were required. The Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) was used to observe the changes in the @entity1 ' subjective symptoms. The Pittsburgh @entity25 index (PSQI) was adopted to observe the changes of @entity1 ' @entity25 . The sleep efficiency was applied to observe the changes in sleep time. The clinical efficacy was determined. RESULTS: The total effective rate was both 80. 0% (24/30) after 5 and 10 treatments in the spleen deficiency group and was 76. 7% (23/30) and 80. 0% (24/30) respectively in the @entity4559 group. The differences were not significant between the two groups (both P >0. 05). The AIS total scores and PSQI total scores were reduced apparently after 5 and 10 treatments as compared with those before treatment (all P<0. 01). The difference at each time point was not significant between the two groups (all P>0. 05). The sleep efficiency after 5 and 10 treatments was all improved as compared with that before the treatment in the two groups (all P<0. 01). CONCLUSION: Acupuncture based on the spleen and stomach theory achieves possibly the same clinical efficacy in the @entity1 of @entity22 differentiated as those with @entity4559 . It relieves the subjective symptoms and improves the @entity25 and sleep efficiency in the @entity1 .
