Clinical observation of Chinese herbal medicine on improving sleep disorders in patients with maintenance hemodialysis by SHI Guo-juan, LIANG Zhen, MA Jin-rong, ZHAO Li, LI Juan

“…Objective Sleep disorder is one of the serious problems in the current health of maintenance hemodialysis patients.Along with the progress of medical technology,the prolongation of the survival time of patients,the severity of sleep disorders as an independent evaluation of the role of the quality of life and high mortality in patients with maintenance hemodialysis has been paid more and more attention.To investigate the clinical effect of traditional Chinese medicine on improving sleep disorders in maintenance hemodialysis patients.Methods 60 cases of hemodialysis patients with sleep disorders were selected.A simple random sampling was used to divide it into two groups,30 cases of Chinese medicine group(experimental group) and diazepam group(control group) 30 cases,the time of 3 months.The experimental group received 1 bags of Chinese medicine 2 times a day sooner or later each,the control group was given estazolam 1 mg orally at bedtime.The Pittsburgh sleep quality index(Sleep Quality Index Pittsburg,PSQI) was used as the quantitative indicators of sleep,and the two groups were compared before and after treatment,and the two groups were compared between the two groups.Results The traditional Chinese medicine group and estazolam group before and after treatment PSQI scores were statistically significant(P<0.05).Between the two groups after treatment,the total score of PSQI was not statistically significant(P>0.05).In the traditional Chinese medicine group,11 cases were markedly improved,15 cases improved,4 cases had no improvement,and the efficiency was 86.67%.Estazolam group 10 patients were cured,17 cases improved and 3 cases without consciousness improved,the effective rate was 90.0%.Two groups have no difference in statistical efficiency.But compared with estazolam group of sleepiness,mental dependence,staggering gait,ataxia and other side effects,the TCM group without the side effects.Conclusions The traditional Chinese medicine is reliable,safe,and is worth popularizing in improving the sleep disorder of maintenance hemodialysis patients.…”
