Abstract

Background: Post-stroke insomnia is a very common complication in stroke patients. Wu’s Suanzao Anshen Decoction, founded by Professor Wu Wei, is effective in treating patients with Liver-Kidney Yin deficiency type insomnia. Currently, there is no research on the combination of Wu’s Suanzao Anshen Decoction with acupuncture to treat insomnia in post-stroke patients. Objectives: To evaluate the results and adverse effects of the Wu’s Suanzao Anshen Decoction combined with acupuncture to treat post-stroke patients with Liver-Kidney Yin deficiency type insomnia. Materials and methods: During the period from November 2022 to February 2024, 120 post-stroke patients with Liver-Kidney Yin deficiency type insomnia were enrolled from Can Tho Traditional Medicine Hospital. They were then randomly distributed into a study group and a control group, each consisting of 60 patients. The control group was treated for insomnia using acupuncture. The study group, based on the treatment of the control group, additionally incorporated Wu’s Suanzao Anshen Decoction. Results: The treatment results according to the PSQI score after 2 weeks of treatment showed that the study group had a combined recovery rate and effectiveness rate of 86,6% (52/60), which was higher than the control group's rate of 43,3% (26/60), with statistical significance (p<0,05). During the treatment process, the patients' heart rate and blood pressure remained stable, with no recorded serious adverse effects or abnormalities in liver and kidney function after treatment. Conclusions: The clinical efficacy of the combined use of Wu’s Suanzao Anshen Decoction and acupuncture on post-stroke patients with Liver-Kidney Yin deficiency type insomnia is definite.
