Insomnia, as a common sleep disorder, often coexists and influences each other. The conventional treatment of patients with hypertension and insomnia usually involves the combination of antihypertensive drugs and sleeping pills, but the side effects and drug dependence of sleeping pills limit the long-term clinical use of such drugs. In recent years, traditional Chinese medicine external therapies, as one of the distinctive treatments, have shown significant efficacy in treating hypertension combined with insomnia. This paper summarizes the research progress on external therapies for hypertension combined with insomnia, including acupuncture, auricular bean pressing, and herbal patches, aiming to provide a reference for clinical treatment.
