To intervene the insomnia symptoms of perimenopausal women by auricular point seed burying combined with fire dragon pot moxibustion, in order to improve the quality of sleep and life of the participants.
Seventy female participants with perimenopausal insomnia who were treated with Chinese medicine techniques from January 2020 to October 2020 were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, with 35 participants in each group. Participants in the control group were treated with the traditional Chinese medicine nursing intervention of burying seeds at auricular points. And participants in the observation group were additionally treated with fire dragon pot moxibustion. After 10 weeks of intervention, the Pittsburgh Sleepiness Index (PSQI), self-assessment scores of anxiety (SAS) and depression (SDS), and treatment efficacy of the two groups were compared, respectively.
Before the intervention, there was no statistically significant difference in general information, sleep index scores, SAS, SDS scores between the two groups (p > 0.05). After the intervention, the SAS, SDS, and PSQI scores were significantly lower than the control group. Compared with the control group, the time to fall asleep was shorter and the duration of total sleep was longer in the observation group (p < 0.05). The treatment efficacy was better in the observation group (p < 0.05).

通过耳穴贴压联合火龙罐灸干预围绝经期妇女失眠症状，提高患者睡眠及生活质量。
选取 2020 年 1 月至 10 月采用中医技术治疗的 70 例围绝经期失眠患者，采用随机数字表法分为对照组和观察组，各 35 例。对照组采用耳穴贴压的中医护理干预，观察组在对照组基础上联合火龙罐灸。干预 10 周后，比较两组匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（PSQI）、焦虑自评量表（SAS）、抑郁自评量表（SDS）评分及疗效。
干预前，两组一般资料、睡眠指标评分、SAS、SDS 评分比较，差异均无统计学意义（P>0.05）。干预后，两组 SAS、SDS、PSQI 评分均低于对照组，观察组入睡时间短于对照组，睡眠时间长于对照组（P<0.05）。观察组疗效优于对照组（P<0.05）。
耳穴贴压联合火龙罐灸治疗围绝经期失眠患者的效果优于单纯耳穴贴压。
