Abstract：Objective To observe clinical effect of acupoint embedding of stellate ganglion combined with auricular point seed pressing in the treatment of insomnia. Methods Sixty-four patients with insomnia who met the clinical research requirements in Outpatient Department of Encephalopathy Rehabilitation in Shaanxi Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from April 2018 to April 2020 were selected and divided into stellate ganglion embedding group and conventional embedding group according to random number table method, with 32 cases in each group. Stellate ganglion embedding group was treated with acupoint embedding of stellate ganglion combined with auricular point seed pressing, while conventional embedding group was treated with conventional acupoint embedding combined with auricular point seed pressing. Acupoint embedding once every two weeks, auricular point seed pressing once every seven days, one month as a course of treatment, a total of two courses of treatment. After two courses of treatment, two cases in stellate ganglion embedding group and one case in conventional embedding group were removed. Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) score, Athens insomnia scale (AIS) score, Chinese medicine syndrome scale score, Hamilton depression scale (HAMD) score and clinical efficacy were compared between two groups. Results There were no significant differences in PSQI score and AIS score between two groups before treatment (P > 0.05). After treatment, PSQI score and AIS score of two groups were lower than those before treatment (P < 0.05), and stellate ganglion embedding group was lower than conventional embedding group (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in Chinese medicine syndrome scale score and HAMD score between two groups before treatment (P > 0.05). After treatment, the scores of Chinese medicine syndrome scale and HAMD in two groups were lower than those before treatment (P < 0.05), and HAMD score in stellate ganglion embedding group was lower than that in conventional embedding group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in clinical total effective rate between two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion Stellate ganglion acupoint embedding combined with auricular point seed pressing can better improve the sleep quality and bad mood of insomnia patients than conventional embedding combined with auricular point seed pressing.
