"Chou's Tiaoshen" Acupoints for Short-term Insomnia.
"Chou's Tiaoshen" Acupoints for Short-term Insomnia: A Multicenter, Randomized, Controlled Clinical Study.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the curative effect of "Chou's Tiaoshen" acupoints in short-term insomnia and the explore the possible mechanism of the action. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Whether the curative effect of caupuncturing"Chou's Tiaoshen" acupoints in the treatment of short-term insomnia is not inferior to that of Esazolam.
- What is the possible mechanism of acupuncture "Chou's Tiaoshen"acupoints for short-term insomnia.
Participants with short-term insomnia who met the criteria will be randomly assigned to "Chou's Tiaoshen"acupoints group and Esazolam group. Polysomnography, heart rate variability, cortisol and related scales will be measured before and after treatment to detect the changes in symptoms and signs before and after treatment.

---|---|
Experimental: "Chou's Tiaoshen" acupoints group
Acupuncturing"Chou's Tiaoshen" acupoints,"Chou's Tiaoshen" acupoints is derived from the experience of Zhou Dean, anational famous traditional Chinese medicine doctor in our department.
|
"Chou's Tiaoshen" acupoints includes Baihui (GV-20), Shenting (GV-24), and Sishencong (EX-HN1), Sanyinjiao (SP-6), Shenmen (HT-7) .
Using stainless steel needles (0.32×40)mm, HuaTuo, China).
Then some other points like, Danzhong(CV-17), Daling(PC-7), Taixi (KI-3), Qihai (CV-6), Taichong (LR3), and Qiuxu(GB-40) are chosen.
Operation: Patients in supine position.
Baihui (GV-20), Shenting (GV-24), and Sishencong (EX-HN1) are punctured at a depth of 20-25mm obliquely.
Sanyinjiao (SP-6) and Shenmen (HT-7) are inserted 15mm perpendicularly.
Until feeling tactile sensation then manually manipulated by rotation methods to produce a characteristic sensation known as "De Qi"; Technique: Mild reinforcing and attenuating, retaining the needle for 30minutes.
The treatment will be givenonce a day and 5 times a week in weekdays, the course will last two weeks.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index
Time Frame: PSQI will be recorded 3 times, before treatment, and at the 14th day , 28th day after treatment.
|
The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is a self-rated questionnaire which assesses sleep quality and disturbances.
Eighteen individual items generate seven "component" scores: subjective sleep quality (SQ), sleep-onset latency (SOL), total sleep time (TST), habitual sleep efficiency (SE), sleep disturbances ( Dyssomnia), use of sleeping medication, and daytime dysfunction (DD).The cumulative component score is the PSQI total score ranging from 0 to 21, higher scores indicates worse sleep quality.
|
PSQI will be recorded 3 times, before treatment, and at the 14th day , 28th day after treatment.
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Polysomnography
Time Frame: PSG will be recorded in 10 randomly selected patients in each group before treatment and 14 days after treatment.
|
Polysomnography (PSG) is a classic instrument for detecting sleep conditions.The following data can be obtained by PSG monitoring: total sleep time, sleep latency, The percentage of time spent in each sleep stage.
PSG is of great value for the degree and differential diagnosis of insomnia.
|
PSG will be recorded in 10 randomly selected patients in each group before treatment and 14 days after treatment.
|
Heart Rate Variability (HRV)
Time Frame: HRV will be recorded 3 times, before treatment, at the 14th day and 28th day after treatment.
|
The degree and regularity of heart rate changes can be reflected by measuring the variability of continuous normal R-R interphase changes by dynamic elctrocardiogram, so as to judge its impact on cardiovascular activities, which can reflect the activity of autonomic nervous system and quantitatively evaluate the balance of sympathetic and vagal nerve tension.
|
HRV will be recorded 3 times, before treatment, at the 14th day and 28th day after treatment.
|
Concentration of serum cortisol
Time Frame: Serum cortisol will be recorded 2 times, before treatment, and at the 14th day , 28th day after treatment, and the measurement time was fixed at 8 am each time.
|
Serum cortisol is elevated during stress, which can reflect excessive arousal, and if the brain is constantly under high stress, may lead to long-term elevated cortisol levels.
|
Serum cortisol will be recorded 2 times, before treatment, and at the 14th day , 28th day after treatment, and the measurement time was fixed at 8 am each time.
|
Fatigue Scale
Time Frame: FS will be recorded 3 times, before treatment, and at the 14th day , 28th day after treatment.
|
The fatigue scale(FS) consists of 14 items, each of which is a fatigue-related question, reflecting both physical fatigue and mental fatigue.
The highest total score is 14 points, the lowest is 0 points, and the higher the score is, the more serious the fatigue is.
|
FS will be recorded 3 times, before treatment, and at the 14th day , 28th day after treatment.
|
Ford Insomnia Response to Stress Test Chinese version,FIRST
Time Frame: FIRST will be recorded 3 times, before treatment, and at the 14th day , 28th day after treatment.
|
FIRST is a self-reporting tool including nine items designed to assess sleep response, The minimum total score is 9 and the maximum is 36.
Higher scores on the FIRST indicate a more highly reactive sleep system.
|
FIRST will be recorded 3 times, before treatment, and at the 14th day , 28th day after treatment.
|
Traditional Chinese medicine symptom scoring Scale
Time Frame: TCM symptom score will be recorded 3 times, before treatment, and at the 14th day , 28th day after treatment.
|
The TCM symptom scoring scale consists of five items with a minimum score of 0 and a maximum score of 30, reflecting the five core symptoms of insomnia, with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms.
|
TCM symptom score will be recorded 3 times, before treatment, and at the 14th day , 28th day after treatment.
