探讨督脉导气针法联合抗抑郁药治疗抑郁症患者失眠症的临床疗效。
将抑郁症伴失眠症患者随机分为治疗组（n = 23）和对照组（n = 22）。治疗组采用督脉导气针法并口服抗抑郁药，选取神庭（GV 24）、百会（GV 20）、大椎（GV 14）、神道（GV 11）和至阳（GV 9）为主穴；对照组单纯口服抗抑郁药。两组均治疗4周。观察两组汉密尔顿抑郁量表（HAMD）评分及匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（PSQI）评分的变化。
两组治疗前后HAMD评分均有显著差异（P < 0.01），且仅治疗组治疗前后PSQI评分有显著差异（P < 0.01）；治疗后，两组HAMD及PSQI评分比较差异有统计学意义（P < 0.01）。
