Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The study was designed to evaluate the effects of scalp acupuncture treatment on patients with insomnia in China.
Methods: A journal search was performed using China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI) from 1994 to 2011. Key words used within the search were ’insomnia’ and ’scalp acupuncture’.
Results: 19 studies were selected. 9 RCTs and 2 case control studies showed that scalp acupuncture therapy reported better results than routine acupuncture, western medicine, and herbal medicine therapy. 8 case reports described a significant improvement in patients with insomnia by scalp acupuncture.
Conclusions:There have been many studies regarding scalp acupuncture on patients with insomnia in China and these studies can be applied to clinical practices within Korea.
