Electroacupuncture modulates electroencephalographic microstate dynamics to alleviate chronic insomnia: a machine learning approach for predicting individual treatment response

This study found that EA treatment was associated with improved clinical scores and alterations in some EEG microstate parameters in patients with CI. In this exploratory analysis with a limited sample size, baseline microstate features showed preliminary potential for predicting treatment response, though further validation in larger cohorts is needed. These findings may provide a reference for future research on neurophysiological predictors and the development of individualized treatment strategies.

Abstract

This study found that EA treatment was associated with improved clinical scores and alterations in some EEG microstate parameters in patients with CI. In this exploratory analysis with a limited sample size, baseline microstate features showed preliminary potential for predicting treatment response, though further validation in larger cohorts is needed. These findings may provide a reference for future research on neurophysiological predictors and the development of individualized treatment strategies.
