OBJECTIVE@#To observe the clinical efficacy of " needles therapy" combined with moxibustion at yongquan (KI 1) on perimenopausal insomnia (PMI) with heart-kidney imbalance.@*METHODS@#One hundred patients of PMI with heart-kidney imbalance were randomly divided into a medication group and an acupuncture group, 50 cases in each group. In the medication group, diazepam and oryzanol were given. " needles therapy" combined with moxibustion at yongquan (KI 1) were applied in the acupuncture group. The treatment was given for 2 courses, 10 days as a course. Before and after treatment, the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) scale was used to evaluate the improvement of sleep quality in the two groups, and the clinical efficacy was compared.@*RESULTS@#After 2 courses of treatment, the total PSQI score was (4.88±1.80) in the acupuncture group, which was significantly lower than (8.00±1.93) in the medication group, and the difference was statistically significant (<0.05). Except for the sleep efficiency, the scores of other components in the acupuncture group were lower than those in the medication group, and the differences were statistically significant (all <0.05). The total effective rate was 90.0% (45/50) in the acupuncture group and 68.0% (34/50) in the medication group. The difference was statistically significant (<0.05). There was no obvious adverse reactions in entire course of the treatment in the acupuncture group and the safety was satisfactory.@*CONCLUSION@#" needles therapy" combined with moxibustion at Yongquan (KI 1) on PMI with heart-kidney imbalance has good clinical effect.
