This is a sham-controlled randomized trial to identify the effectiveness of treating insomnia induced by anxiety with self-administered auricular acupressure in Malaysia.


Clinical Trial Description

112 subjects with insomnia and anxiety who fit to the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be recruited into the trial. After initial screening, subjects will be randomly allocated to Vaccaria seed tapes (experimental arm) or non-Varracia seed plain tapes (sham comparator arm). On the sixth day for the trial (after 5 days of daily auricular acupressure), the ISI and HAM-A score of subjects will be reassessed again. The subjects have to stop applying auricular acupressure for the next five days and reassess their ISI and HAM-A score again on the eleventh day. ;
