Insomnia Chronic Clinical Trial

Official title:
Auricular Acupressure for Hemodialysis Patients With Insomnia: Study Protocol for a Multi-centre Double-blind, Randomized Controlled Trial

Clinical Trial Summary

Auricular acupressure therapy (AAT) has been applied in MHD patients with insomnia in recent years and yielded favorable results. However, the effect and safety of AAT for insomnia in MHD population still lacks high quality evidence. A randomized controlled clinical trial is planned to evaluate the effect and safety of AAT in MHD patients with insomnia.

Clinical Trial Description

Insomnia, a worldwide health problem, is much more frequently complained in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients and impairs their quality of life and long term outcome. Hypnotic sedative agents are often reluctantly prescribed with doses mounting up. Patients are concerned about drug dependence and drug-related adverse effects. As a non-drug therapy, auricular acupressure therapy (AAT) is attractive to both patients and practitioners and is widely used to treat many conditions in China. The investigators had been applying AAT for MHD patients with insomnia in recent years and yielded favorable results. However, the effect and safety of AAT for insomnia in MHD population still lacks high quality evidence. Therefore, the investigators aimed to perform a randomized controlled clinical trial in MHD patients with insomnia to evaluate the effect and safety of AAT. ;
