Advances in Clinical Research on Abdominal Acupuncture for Insomnia

本文通过对近年来相关文献的系统梳理与深入探讨，简要阐述腹针疗法在失眠治疗中的应用及其多种联合治疗方法，并探讨腹针疗法在研究中仍存在的问题，以期为未来研究提供参考。腹针疗法既可单独应用，也可与传统针刺、头针、中药、梅花针叩刺、温针灸以及灵龟八法等多种治疗方法相结合。研究表明，腹针疗法在改善患者睡眠质量方面具有显著疗效，且因其疼痛程度较轻、不良反应较少、安全性较高，而广为患者所接受。Through a systematic review and in-depth exploration of relevant literature in recent years, this article briefly explains the application of abdominal acupuncture therapy in the treatment of insomnia and its various combination treatment methods, and explores the problems that still exist in the research of abdominal acupuncture therapy, in order to provide a reference for future research. Abdominal acupuncture therapy can be used alone or combined with traditional acupuncture, scalp acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine, plum blossom needle tapping, warm acupuncture and moxibustion and eight methods of Linggui. Research has shown that abdominal acupuncture therapy has significant therapeutic effects in improving patients’ sleep quality, and is widely accepted by patients due to its mild pain, fewer adverse reactions, and higher safety.
