|
Objective: To report the effect of Gamiguibi-tang (加味歸脾湯) as a treatment for insomnia.
Methods: An insomnia patient who scored 27 points for her insomnia severity index was enrolled in this study. She received oriental treatment with herbal medication (Gamiguibi-tang), acupuncture, and moxibustion for 1 month.
Results: After treatment, sleep duration and sleep quality were improved. After the patient had taken Gamiguibi-tang, her
score for the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) decreased from 21 to 9, and associated symptoms were also improved
without taking sleeping pills.
Conclusions: Gamiguibi-tang is effective for the treatment of insomnia. More clinical data and studies are required in
patients suffering from insomnia.
