Abstract:ObjectiveTo observe the clinical therapeutic effect on insomnia treated with acupuncture at back-shu points.MethodsSixty-four cases of insomnia were selected and divided randomly into a back-shu points group (group A) and a conventional acupoints group (group B) by a computer generated allocation list, 32 cases in each one. In the trial group, acupuncture was applied at Xīnshū (

In the control group, acupuncture was applied conventionally to Nèiguān (<figure class=></figure> PC 6), Shénmén (<figure class=></figure> HT 7), Sānyīnjiāo (<figure class=></figure> SP 6), B?ihuì (<figure class=></figure> GV 20) and Sìshéncōng (<figure class=></figure> EX-HN 1). Ten treatments made a session. The efficacy was analyzed statistically after 3 sessions of treatment.<b>Results</b>There were significant differences between the two groups in the relief of sleep disorders after the treatment (<em>P</em><0.01). The improvement in sleep efficiency was different significantly (<em>P</em><0.05), The difference in sleep difficulty was significant in Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom score (<em>P</em><0.05).<b>Conclusion</b>The clinical efficacy is achieved by either acupuncture at back-<em>shu</em> points or by acupuncture at conventional acupoints. The improvements of sleep efficiency and sleep disorder scores in PSQI, and sleep difficulty in TCM as well as the long-term efficacy are superior in group A as compared with those in group B.</td> </tr> <tr> <td align=
