失眠已成为现代临床医学领域重点关注问题，对公众健康水平构成了显著影响，其作为一种典型的睡眠病理表现，不仅损害患者的睡眠质量，还可能引发认知功能下降、情绪波动等继发问题，从而严重影响现代人群身心健康和生活质量。当前临床主要采用药物、物理及心理疗法干预失眠，但普遍存在疗效不稳定或副作用明显等问题，相较药物、物理及心理疗法，针刺疗法因其相对安全有效、操作灵活的特点，在失眠治疗领域得到了较为广泛的认可。文章全面梳理并系统评述了近年来针灸疗法在失眠症治疗领域的研究进展与临床应用现状，围绕传统中医对失眠病因病机的认识、现代医学对发病机制的研究成果、不同针刺干预手段的疗效特征，以及针刺联合其他疗法的协同效应等方面展开分析，旨在为优化失眠临床治疗方案提供理论支持与实践参考。Insomnia has become a key concern in the field of modern clinical medicine and has a significant impact on the public’s health level. As a typical sleep pathological manifestation, it not only impairs the sleep quality of patients but may also cause secondary problems such as cognitive decline and mood swings, thereby seriously affecting the physical and mental health and quality of life of the modern population. At present, in clinical practice, drug, physical and psychological therapies are mainly used to intervene in insomnia. However, there are generally problems such as unstable therapeutic effects or obvious side effects. Compared with drug, physical and psychological therapies, acupuncture therapy has been widely recognized in the field of insomnia treatment due to its relatively safe, effective and flexible operation characteristics. This article comprehensively reviews and systematically reviews the research progress and clinical application status of acupuncture therapy in the field of insomnia treatment in recent years. It conducts an analysis around aspects such as the understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of insomnia in traditional Chinese medicine, the research achievements of modern medicine on the pathogenesis, the therapeutic characteristics of different acupuncture intervention methods, and the synergistic effect of acupuncture combined with other therapies. It aims to provide theoretical support and practical reference for optimizing the clinical treatment plan of insomnia.
