This report aimed to present the acupuncture treatment response of two patients who were evaluated with polysomnography.
Acupuncture treatment was planned for two patients who refused medical treatment with chronic insomnia. Polysomnographic evaluation was performed at baseline and 1 month after acupuncture treatment.
Remarkable improvement was determined in polysomnographic parameters of both cases. After acupuncture treatment, improvements in subjective symptoms such as unrefreshing sleep, morning headache, reduced motivation and daytime performance, tiredness, sleep disturbances, fatigue, and mood worsening in the morning were also observed. Clinical studies with more cases with polysomnographic evaluation are necessary to investigate the effectiveness of acupuncture in the treatment of insomnia.
本报告旨在呈现两名接受多导睡眠图评估患者的针灸治疗反应。
为两名拒绝接受慢性失眠药物治疗的患者制定了针灸治疗方案。在基线和针灸治疗后1个月进行多导睡眠图评估。
确定两名患者的多导睡眠图参数均有显著改善。针灸治疗后,还观察到主观症状有所改善,如睡眠不清醒、晨起头痛、动力和日间表现下降、疲劳、睡眠障碍、疲倦以及晨起情绪恶化。有必要开展更多包含多导睡眠图评估的病例临床研究,以探究针灸治疗失眠的有效性。
