| 摘要 | ［Objectives］ To systematically evaluate the clinical efficacy of head massage combined with Chinese herbal bath in treating insomnia and analyze its herbal medication patterns. [Methods] Clinical data of 200 chronic insomnia patients treated at the Sleep Disorder Center of Taihe Hospital from January 2020 to December 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were randomly divided into observation group and control group (n=100 each). The observation group received head massage combined with Chinese herbal bath therapy, while the control group received Chinese herbal bath alone. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used for efficacy evaluation, and statistical analysis was performed on the frequency of herbal medications in herbal herbal bath formulas. [Results] The PSQI score improvement in the observation group (8.44±1.87) was significantly better than that in the control group (5.74±1.93) (P<0.01). Herbal formulas for external bath primarily contained mind-calming and heart-nourishing herbs (fried Ziziphi Spinosae Semen, Concha Margaritifera) and heat-clearing herbs (Rhizoma Coptidis, Radix Scutellariae). [Conclusions] The combination of head massage and Chinese herbal bath can significantly improve sleep quality in insomnia patients, demonstrating superior clinical efficacy compared with Chinese herbal bath alone. This combined therapy shows good safety and operability, warranting promotion in primary and specialized medical institutions. |
