Objective To compare therapeutic effect of auricular point sticking therapy and western medication on insomnia in the middle-aged patients. Methods Sixty-three middle-aged patients of insomnia were randomly divided into an auricular point sticking group(n=32) and a Diazepam group(n=31). In the auricular point sticking group, auricular point sticking was given at auricular points Gan(liver), Pi(spleen), Shenmen on one side; and in the Diazepam group, 2.5 mg Diazepam was orally administrated, once each day. The clinical therapeutic effects, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) scores were compared before and after treatment in the two groups. Results After treatment for 4 weeks, the total effective rate of 90.6%(29/32) in the auricular point sticking group was better than 61.3%(19/31) in the Diazepam group (P<0.01); the scores of all items in PSQI in the auricular point sticking group, and the sleep quality, sleep time and the total score in the Diazepam group were significantly decreased (all P<0.01); the auricular point sticking group in improvement of sleep quality, falling asleep time, sleep efficacy, somnipathy, hypnotic use, daytime dysfunction and the total score in PSQI, and early awaking, total sleep time, daytime emotion, daytime state, daytime sleepy in AIS was superior to the Diazepam group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Conclusion Auricular point sticking therapy has a good therapeutic effect on insomnia which is better than oral Diazepam.%目的:比较耳穴贴压和口服西药治疗中年失眠症的疗效差异.方法:选择中年失眠症患者63例,随机分为耳穴贴压组(32例)和地西泮组(31例).耳穴贴压组选取耳穴肝、脾、神门3穴,予单耳耳穴贴压;地西泮组口服地西泮2.5 mg,每日1次.比较两组治疗前后临床疗效、匹兹堡睡眠质量指数和阿森斯失眠量表评分.结果:经过4周治疗后,耳穴贴压组总有效率为90.6%(29/32),优于地西泮组的61.3%(19/31)(P<0.01).耳穴贴压组治疗后匹斯堡睡眠质量指数各项评分均较治疗前明显降低(均P<0.01),地西泮组治疗后睡眠质量、睡眠时间及总分亦较治疗前降低(均P<0.01);耳穴贴压组在改善睡眠质量、入睡时间、睡眠效率、睡眠障碍、催眠药物、日间功能障碍及总分均优于地西泮组(P<0.05,P<0.01);同时耳穴贴压组还在阿森斯失眠评分中早醒、总睡眠时、白天情绪、白天状况、白天思睡5个方面较地西泮组显示出明显的优势(均P<0.01).结论:耳穴贴压治疗失眠症具有良好的治疗效果,优于口服地西泮.
