AB  - OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical effect of acupuncture for perimenopausal 
      early-wake insomnia. METHODS: A total of 60 patients with perimenopausal 
      early-wake insomnia were randomly divided into an observation group (30 cases, 3 
      cases dropped off) and a control group (30 cases, 2 cases dropped off, 2 cases 
      were removed). In the observation group, acupuncture was applied at Baihui (GV 
      20), Yintang (GV 24(+)), Anmian (Extra), Hegu (LI 4), Shenmen (HT 7), Taichong 
      (LR 3), Taixi (KI 3), etc., once every other day, 3 times a week. In the control 
      group, oryzanol tablets were taken orally, 20 mg each time, 3 times a day. Both 
      groups were treated for 4 weeks. Before and after treatment, the sleep actigraphy 
      (ACT) was used to measure the effective sleep time, sleep quality, wake-up time, 
      wake-up frequency, each wake-up time, and the Pittsburgh sleep quality index 
      (PSQI) score and early-wake score were compared in the two groups, and the 
      clinical effect was assessed. RESULTS: After treatment, compared before 
      treatment, the effective sleep time was prolonged and the sleep quality was 
      improved (P<0.05), the wake-up time, each wake-up time were shortened and wake-up 
      frequency was decreased (P<0.05), the PSQI score and early-wake score were 
      decreased (P<0.05) in the observation group. After treatment, the wake-up 
      frequency, PSQI score and early-wake score were decreased in the control group 
      (P<0.05). The effective sleep time, sleep quality, wake-up time, wake-up 
      frequency, each wake-up time, PSQI score and early-wake score after treatment in 
      the observation group were superior to the control group (P<0.05). The total 
      effective rate was 88.9% (24/27) in the observation group, which was higher than 
      38.5% (10/26) in the control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Acupuncture can increase 
      the effective sleep time and improve sleep quality in patients with 
      perimenopausal early-wake insomnia.
