Acupuncture used to help people with insomnia.
Insomnia
In this meta-analysis of 647 RCT’s (Randomized Controlled Trials) with 4443 patients they compared acupuncture versus hypnotic drug class (benzodiazepines like lorazepam and Z-drugs like Ambient). Using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score (a standard for sleep quality evaluation) they found that the acupuncture therapies scored higher than the hypnotic drugs. Although insomnia is a complex problem that involved diet and lifestyle changes we find the same thing in clinic , that seeing a TCM practitioner who uses acupuncture can help you sleep better and most importantly have more energy the next day.
