ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical curative effect of Qingrehuatan method in the treatment of insomnia elderly patients with benzodiazepines dependence.Methods From April 2016 to April 2017,49 insomnia elderly patients with benzodiazepines dependence in the Second People's Hospital of Zhoushan were divided into the observation group(20 cases)and control group (29 cases)according to the different treatment methods.In the gradual reduction at the same time,the control group was treated with trazodone,the observation group was treated with Qingrehuatan method.Before treatment and after treatment for 1course,the revised Pittsburgh sleep quality scale (PSQI),index of insomnia symptom score,TCM symptom score,Zung Anxiety Rating Scale score,Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale(WAIS－RC)and Wechsler Memory Scale(WMS－RC)score were observed in the two groups. Results After treatment,the rate of withdrawal and discontinuation of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (90.0% vs.68.9%),the difference was statistically significant (χ2＝6.918,P＜0.05).After treatment,the PSQI scores and symptom scores of the two groups were significantly decreased,and the PSQI scores and TCM symptom scores of the observation group improved significantly better than those of the control group[(8.8 ±1.1)points vs.(10.6 ±1.3)points,(2.9 ±0.8)points vs.(4.6 ±1.2)points],the differences were statistically significant(t＝5.063,5.535,all P＜0.05).After treatment,the Zung Anxiety Scale scores of the two groups were significantly lower,and the improvement of the observation group was significantly better than that of the control group[(42.90 ±5.65)points vs.(48.21±5.27)points],the difference was statistically significant(t ＝ 3.366,P＜0.05 ).After treatment,the long －term memory,short －term memory and memory quotient of the two groups were significantly increased,and short－term memory and memory quotient of the observation group improved significantly better than those of the control group[(23.30 ±5.31)points vs.(20.55 ±6.58)points,(76.67 ± 12.70)points vs.(67.36 ±19.13)points],the differences were statistically significant (t＝2.274,2.047,all P＜0.05 ).Conclusion Qingrehuatan method in the treatment of insomnia elderly patients with benzodiazepines depend-ence can improve the possible reduction in the process of stopping drug withdrawal symptoms and memory function, and can improve the symptoms of patients at the same time,and it is worthy of clinical application.
