Insomnia is a common complaint in outpatient clinics. It usually affects quality of life neg-atively, especially in severe cases. Nowadays, routine medical interventions comprise pharmacological approaches and cognitive behavioral therapy. Common medications used by afflicted patients are not competent enough in addition to their annoying side effects. It would naturally denote the need for considering novel strategies for treating insomniac patients. Approach to insomnia in traditional Persian medicine (TPM) has been cited in a scrutinized manner focusing on its main causes. Accordingly, its treatment is tailored based on the constitution of the patient, intensity of the disease, and type of the cause. In this paper we have discussed the causes of insomnia, diagnostic approach, and various medical interventions proposed in valid sources of TPM.
失眠是门诊中常见的主诉。它通常会对生活质量产生负面影响，尤其是在严重的情况下。如今，常规医疗干预包括药物治疗和认知行为疗法。患病患者常用的药物除了有令人讨厌的副作用外，效果也不够理想。自然而然地就意味着需要考虑治疗失眠患者的新策略。传统波斯医学（TPM）中对失眠的治疗方法已被详细引用，重点关注其主要病因。因此，其治疗是根据患者的体质、疾病严重程度和病因类型量身定制的。在本文中，我们讨论了失眠的病因、诊断方法以及TPM有效资料中提出的各种医疗干预措施。
