Main Article Content
Abstract
An interventional study was conducted in patients diagnosed with non - organic insomnia according to ICD - 10 and presenting with the Traditional Medicine pattern of Heart and Spleen Deficiency syndrome. Patients were treated with the Nguyen Van Huong health - preserving exercise method combined with electroacupuncture for 15 days and the effectiveness of this treatment was evaluated for changes in sleep onset latency, total sleep duration, sleep efficiency, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scores. After treatment, sleep onset latency decreased from 75.10 ± 34.04 minutes to 47.50 ± 27.17 minutes, total sleep duration increased from 3.64 ± 1.05 hours to 5.34 ± 1.00 hours, sleep efficiency increased from 57.00 ± 10.13 % to 78.25 ± 9.10 % and PSQI scores decreased from 15.04 ± 2.20 to 7.74 ± 3.21. All changes were statistically significant (p < 0.05). This study proved that the combination of the Nguyen Van Huong health - preserving exercise method and electroacupuncture showed marked effectiveness in improving sleep onset latency, prolonging total sleep duration, and enhancing sleep efficiency.
