Summary
Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) is one of the most important treatments for patients with
end-stage renal failure. Studies have found that insomnia is widespread in MHD patients,
affecting their quality of life. Auricular acupoint pressing is an effective traditional
Chinese medicine treatment for insomnia. This study compared the effects of auricular
acupoint pressing and oral estazolam on insomnia in patients with MHD, and evaluated the
possibility of auricular acupoint pressing to reduce the incidence of adverse events by
improving insomnia in patients with MHD, and to explore the insomnia of MHD patients treated
with TCM characteristics. The role and efficacy provide a basis for the treatment of sleep
disorders by Chinese medicine.
