Retrospective Study on Insomnia Patients Who Received Consultation between Medical and Korean Medicine Department

Insomnia is a common health problem experienced in 40% of adults, and there is a tendency to start medical drug treatment in general, but Korean medicine treatment is often combined due to side effects caused by drugs. In this study, a retrospective medical record analysis was performed to observe changes in improvement and drug dosage when collaborative treatment was performed for insomnia patients. A total of 146 patients were surveyed, and 35 cases meeting the inclusion criteria were analyzed. The PSQI(Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index) of all subjects was significantly reduced from 14.17±3.05 before treatment to 13.34±2.74 after treatment. The number of dosing decreased from 6.36 ± 1.33 to 2.79 ± 2.69 per week. In subjects who received herbal medicine, acupuncture, and cupping treatments, the PSQI score significantly decreased from 14.17±2.74 to 13.29±2.66. It is expected that the combination of korean medical treatment including herbal medicine and medical drug treatment in patients with insomnia can help reduce drug dosage while increasing the therapeutic effect.
