Abstract

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy of Sun's abdominal acupuncture combined with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBTI) in the treatment of chronic insomnia with anxiety.

Methods: A total of 86 patients diagnosed with chronic insomnia and anxiety were selected from October 2022 to September 2023. Patients were divided into two groups: the cognitive therapy group (treated with CBTI alone) and the combined therapy group (treated with Sun's abdominal acupuncture combined with CBTI). Various parameters including insomnia severity (measured by ISI score), sleep quality (assessed by PSQI score), polysomnography (PSG) results (including sleep duration, latency, wake time, and efficiency), cognitive function (MMSE score), anxiety symptoms (HAM-A score), and insomnia efficacy and anxiety efficacy were compared between the two groups.

Results: The combined therapy group exhibited significantly lower ISI and PSQI scores compared to the cognitive therapy group (P < .05). PSG results showed increased sleep duration, decreased latency and wake time, and higher sleep efficiency in the combined therapy group (P < .05). Moreover, MMSE and HAM-A scores were significantly lower in the combined therapy group (P < .05). The total effective rate for both insomnia and anxiety efficacy were higher in the combined therapy group compared to the cognitive therapy group (P < .05).

Conclusions: Sun's abdominal acupuncture combined with CBTI demonstrates superior clinical efficacy in the management of chronic insomnia with anxiety. This combined approach not only reduces insomnia severity and improves sleep quality but also enhances cognitive function and reduces anxiety symptoms. Overall, the efficacy of combined therapy surpasses that of CBTI alone, suggesting its potential for widespread clinical adoption and application.

孙氏腹针联合 CBTI 治疗慢性焦虑性失眠的临床疗效。

研究目的本研究旨在评估孙氏腹针联合认知行为疗法（CBTI）治疗慢性失眠伴焦虑症的临床疗效：方法：选取2022年10月至2023年9月期间确诊为慢性失眠伴焦虑症的患者共86例。将患者分为两组：认知治疗组（单独使用 CBTI 治疗）和联合治疗组（孙氏腹针联合 CBTI 治疗）。对两组患者的失眠严重程度（以 ISI 评分衡量）、睡眠质量（以 PSQI 评分评估）、多导睡眠图（PSG）结果（包括睡眠时间、潜伏期、觉醒时间和效率）、认知功能（MMSE 评分）、焦虑症状（HAM-A 评分）、失眠疗效和焦虑疗效等各种参数进行比较：结果：与认知治疗组相比，综合治疗组的 ISI 和 PSQI 分数明显较低（P < .05）。PSG 结果显示，联合治疗组的睡眠时间延长，潜伏期和觉醒时间缩短，睡眠效率提高（P < .05）。此外，综合治疗组的 MMSE 和 HAM-A 评分明显降低（P < .05）。与认知疗法组相比，联合疗法组的失眠和焦虑疗效总有效率更高（P < .05）：结论：孙氏腹针联合 CBTI 治疗慢性焦虑性失眠的临床疗效显著。这种联合疗法不仅能减轻失眠的严重程度，改善睡眠质量，还能增强认知功能，减轻焦虑症状。总体而言，联合疗法的疗效超过了单独的 CBTI，这表明它有可能在临床上得到广泛采用和应用。

期刊介绍： Launched in 1995, Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine has a mission to promote the art and science of integrative medicine and a responsibility to improve public health. We strive to maintain the highest standards of ethical medical journalism independent of special interests that is timely, accurate, and a pleasure to read. We publish original, peer-reviewed scientific articles that provide health care providers with continuing education to promote health, prevent illness, and treat disease. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine was the first journal in this field to be indexed in the National Library of Medicine. In 2006, 2007, and 2008, ATHM had the highest impact factor ranking of any independently published peer-reviewed CAM journal in the United States—meaning that its research articles were cited more frequently than any other journal’s in the field. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine does not endorse any particular system or method but promotes the evaluation and appropriate use of all effective therapeutic approaches. Each issue contains a variety of disciplined inquiry methods, from case reports to original scientific research to systematic reviews. The editors encourage the integration of evidence-based emerging therapies with conventional medical practices by licensed health care providers in a way that promotes a comprehensive approach to health care that is focused on wellness, prevention, and healing. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine hopes to inform all licensed health care practitioners about developments in fields other than their own and to foster an ongoing debate about the scientific, clinical, historical, legal, political, and cultural issues that affect all of health care.
