The differences between the two groups were statistically significant(P<0.05). For the intra-group comparison of PSQI,in treatment group,the score of every factor and the total score after treatment were significantly dif-ferent from that before treatment(P<0.01);in control group,except for the daytime function(P>0.05),all other factors had statistical significance(P<0.05 or P<0.01). For the comparison of PSQI between the two groups,except for the sleep efficiency (P>0.05),all scores of the factors of treatment group were significantly different from that of the control group(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Conclusion:The curative effect of scraping and detoxification therapy combined with estazolam tablets on insomnia was better than that of estazolam tablets.
