Abstract：Objective:To study and analyze the therapeutic effect of Huolong cupping on perimenopausal insomnia with heart kidney disharmony and its impact on the Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI)score.Methods:120 patients with perimenopausal insomnia were selected as the study subjects,who received treatment in the hospital from January 2022 to December 2023.They were divided into an observation group(n=60)and a control group(n=60).The control group was treated with acupuncture,while the observation group was treated with Fire Dragon cupping on the basis of acupuncture.The clinical efficacy,TCM syndrome scores,PSQI scores and quality of life(WHOQOL-BREF)scores before and after treatment of the two groups before and after treatment were compared.Results:After the treatment,the total effective rate of clinical efficacy in the observation group(91.67%)was higher than that in the control group(76.67%),and the difference was statistically significant(χ2=5.065,P＜0.05).The TCM syndrome scores of patients in the observation group were all better than those in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(t=8.953,9.268,6.941,8.500,10.558;P＜0.05).The sleep quality scores of patients in the observation group were all better than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(t=4.889,5.941,3.434,4.210,5.673;P＜0.05).The quality of life scores of patients in the observation group were all better than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(t=5.710,6.371,8.027,4.874;P＜0.05).Conclusion:The treatment of insomnia caused by heart-kidney disharmony during perimenopause with Huolong Cupping has a higher clinical effect,further alleviates traditional Chinese medicine syndromes,improves sleep quality and enhances the quality of life.
