Clinical Trial Summary

Insomnia and sleep disorders are prominent health problems in modern society. High working pressure, fast pace of life, the use of electronic products and other reasons lead to the high incidence of insomnia and sleep disorders, which affect people's physical and mental health seriously, long-term insomnia will increase the risk of various health problems, and may even lead to malignant accidents. There are few effective methods to treat insomnia or sleep disorders, only part of the problem can be solved by sleeping pills and psychotherapy. However, drug therapy has side effects such as drowsiness on the next day, ataxia, anterograde amnesia and so on, and long-term application is addictive. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has certain characteristics and advantages in the treatment of insomnia, but there is lack of evidence in clinical research that meets the requirements of modern evidence-based medicine, to prove the exact efficacy and safety of TCM in the treatment of insomnia. In addition, the research shows that the internal biological clock cycle of normal human body is 24-hour, insomnia may be related to biological clock gene. In this study, the outpatients with insomnia were taken as the research object. To observe the efficacy and safety of TCM in the treatment of insomnia by recording the participants' baseline demographic data, questionnaire survey, and conducting hematology examination. At the same time, to know the TCM constitution type of insomnia patients, through questionnaire survey with "Classification and Determination of TCM constitution table" that published by China Association of Chinese Medicine.And to explore the correlation between insomnia and circadian rhythm of biological clock .


Description:

To record the demographic information and clinical characteristics of participants, including age, gender, education background, and drug use. Venous blood samples were collected and sent to laboratory test for blood routine, blood biochemistry, and blood homocysteine before and after 1 months of treatment. The remaining blood samples were kept in the sample bank for preservation. The Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) was used to evaluate the patients' sleep quality, and the depressive symptoms were assessed by Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-17) before and after treatment. Conduct the "Classification and Determination of TCM constitution table" before the treatment and 1-2 weeks before the end of the treatment, and according to the TCM constitution type to give constitution conditioning treatment.The participants will have a follow-up visit every two weeks, and the TCM will be adjusted according to the condition of illness. The treatment will last for 1 months.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Change from Baseline in the total score of the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) at Month 1 The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is a self-rated questionnaire which assesses sleep quality and disturbances over a 1-month time interval. Possible scores range from 0(the best sleep quality) to 21(the worst possible sleep quality).The higher the score of PSQI, the worse the sleep quality. Change=(Month 1 Score-Baseline Score) Baseline and month 1
Primary Change from Baseline in the total score of the 17-item Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-17) at Month 1 The 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale(HAMD-17) assesses severity ranges of depression: no depression (0-7); mild depression (8-16); moderate depression (17-23); and severe depression (=24). Possible scores range from 0(no depression) to 54(the worst possible depression). The higher the score of HAMD-17, the heavier the depression. Change=(Month 1 Score-Baseline Score) Baseline and month 1
Secondary Change in of the ALT,to evaluate the safety of TCM treatment Alanine aminotransferase, ALT in U/L. Baseline and month 1
Secondary Change in of the AST,to evaluate the safety of TCM treatment Aspartate aminotransferase, AST in U/L Baseline and month 1
Secondary Change in of the BUN,to evaluate the safety of TCM treatment Blood urea nitrogen, BUN in mmol/L Baseline and month 1
Secondary Change in of the Scr,to evaluate the safety of TCM treatment Serum creatinine, Scr in µmol/L Baseline and month 1
Secondary Change in of the Hcy,to evaluate the safety of TCM treatment Homocysteine, Hcy in µmol/L Baseline and month 1
Secondary Genome-wide association study,in bp,to explore the correlation between insomnia and circadian rhythm of biological clock Illumina HumanHap550-Duo BeadChips was used to perform the whole genome genotyping in deCODE genetics (Reykjavi'k, Iceland) 1 year
