Application of Qijiao moxibustion for patients with insomnia after stroke (气交灸在中风后失眠患者中的应用研究)

Abstract

Objective To investigate the effect of Qijiao moxibustion for patients with insomnia after stroke. Methods Totally 80 patients with insomnia after stroke were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group, with 40 cases in each group. All patients received routine care, and those in the observation group were given Qijiao moxibustion. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) were used to evaluated the sleep quality of patients. Results There was no significant difference in PSQI score and AIS score between two groups before intervention (P＞0. 05). The PSQI score and AIS score were decreased after intervention, and were lower in the observation group than those in the control group (P＜0. 05). Conclusion Qijiao moxibustion is potentially effective to improve the sleep quality of patients with insomnia after stroke.
