Objective To explore the effect of auricular acupoint pressing beans with electronic biofeedback on insomnia.Methods A total of 90 patients with insomnia who were hospitalized in the Fifth People's Hospital of Jiujiang,Jiangxi Province from January 2022 to June 2023 were selected as the research objects.According to the random number table method,they were divided into Group A,Group B and Group C,with 30 cases in each group.Group A was given electronic biofeedback therapy,group B was given auricular acupoint pressing beans therapy,and group C was given auricular acupoint pressing beans with electronic biofeedback therapy.The Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI),Hamilton depression scale(HAMD)and Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMD)were compared between the three groups before and after treatment.Results After 4 weeks of treatment,the PSQI,HAMD and HAMA scores of the three groups were lower than those before treatment,and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).After 4 weeks of treatment,the PSQI,HAMD and HAMA scores of group C were lower than those of group A and group B,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).After 4 weeks of treatment,there were no significant differences in PSQI,HAMD and HAMA scores between group A and group B(P>0.05).Conclusion Auricular acupressure combined with electronic biofeedback therapy has a better therapeutic effect on sleep improvement in patients with insomnia.
