摘　　要：Objective： To observe the clinical effect of thread-embedding therapy in treating insomnia due to heart-spleen deficiency. Methods： Sixty patients were randomized into an acupuncture group and a thread-embedding group, 30 in each. The acupuncture group was managed by acupuncture therapy, and the thread-embedding group was treated by thread-embedding therapy. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index （PSQI） was adopted for evaluation before and after treatments. Results： The total effective rate was 86.7% in the acupuncture group versus 96.7% in the thread-embedding group. After treatment, the PSQI scores were significantly different from those before treatment in both groups （P〈0.01）; the scores in both two groups were mai＇kedly different from each other after treatment （P〈0.01）. Conclusion： Both acupuncture and thread-embedding therapies can effectively improve sleep quality of the patients, while thread-embedding therapy is comparatively less time-consuming, more convenient and with longer stimulation.目的:观察穴位埋线治疗心脾两虚型失眠症的临床疗效。方法:将60例患者随机分为针剌组和埋线组,每组30例。针刺组予针剌治疗,埋线组予穴位埋线治疗。治疗前及治疗1个疗程后采用匹兹堡睡眠质量指数(Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index,PSQI)量表进行评分。结果:针刺组总有效率86.7%,埋线组总有效率96.7%。治疗后,两组PSQI评分与治疗前均有统计学差异(P<0.01);治疗后两组比较也有统计学差异(P<0.01)。结论:针刺和穴位埋线法均能有效改善患者的睡眠质量,但穴位埋线法耗时少、刺激持久、方便易行。
