Objective To investigate the effects on catgut embedding therapy combined with traditional Chinese medicine on the patients with insomnia and TCM pattern of no connection of heart and kidney.Methods One hundred and ten patients with insomnia and TCM pattern of no connection of heart and kidney were were divided into the catgut embedding therapy group and traditional Chinese medicine group (n=55, repectively). Traditional Chinese medicine group was treated by theLiuwei-Dihuang pills andJiaotaipills, while the catgut embedding therapy group was treated with catgut embedding therapy based on the treatement of TCM groups. Pittsburgh Sleep Index (PSQI) was the outcome for analysis.Results The total effect rate (89.09%vs. 67.27%,χ2=7.674,P<0.01) in catgut embedding therapy group was significantly higher than that in traditional Chinese medicine group. The catgut embedding therapy group were significantly better than the traditional Chinese medicine group in the total score of PSQI (6.71 ± 3.55vs.8.32 ± 2.48,t=2.757,P<0.05), sleep time (0.86 ± 1.11vs. 1.29 ± 0.88,t=2.251,P<0.05), sleep efficiency (0.13 ± 0.7vs. 0.43 ± 0.55,t=2.477,P<0.05), hypnotic drugs (0.93 ± 0.77vs. 1.41 ± 0.81,t=3.185,P<0.05) and daytime dysfunction(1.14 ± 0.61vs. 1.59 ± 0.60,t=3.900,P<0.05). Conclusion Catgut embedding combining traditional Chinese medicine showed better effect than the TCM alone on the patients with insomnia and TCM pattern of no connection of heart and kidney.
