Abstract
Objective: To analyze the value of herbal sleep-aiding pillows in regulating sleep quality in patients with insomnia due to gallbladder deficiency. Methods: Eighty patients with insomnia due to gallbladder deficiency were treated from April 2023 to April 2024 and were randomly divided into groups by drawing lots. Group A used herbal sleep-aiding pillows, while Group B received Western medication. Results: The therapeutic efficacy, HAMA scores, HAMD scores, PSQI scores, and symptom scores of patients in Group A were all superior to those in Group B, with p < 0.05. Conclusion: Treatment with herbal sleep-aiding pillows for insomnia due to gallbladder deficiency resulted in decreased emotional scores, improved sleep quality, and reduced insomnia symptom scores, which is beneficial for the prognosis of patients with insomnia.
