Clinical Observation of Supplemented Wendan Decoction Combined with Western Medicine in Treatment of Insomnia Accompanied by Anxiety and Depression in Phlegm-heat Internal Disturbance Syndrome / 医药导报

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the clinical effect of clinical observation of supplemented wendan decoction combined with Western medicine in treating insomnia accompanied by anxiety and depression in phlegm-heat internal disturbance syndrome.Methods A total of 120 cases of insomnia with anxiety and depression comorbiditis with phlegm heat disturbance syndrome were randomly divided into control group and treatment group,60 cases in each group.The control group was given escitalopram oxalate tablet combined with dexzopiclonone tablet,and the observation group was given added Wendan decoction on the basis of the control group.Both groups were treated continuously for 6 weeks.Polysomnography monitoring parameters and heart rate variability were compared between the two groups during baseline period and visit 2(baseline period+3 months).Scale scores of the two groups were compared during baseline period,visit 1(baseline period+6 weeks)and visit 2.The content of heart rate variability includestime domain analysis(standard deviation of normal interval(SDNN),square root of the square sum of the mean of the difference between adjacent normal interval(RMSSD)and frequency domain analysis(LF,HF,LF/HF).The scale scores included the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI)and Insomnia Severity Index(ISI)to assess sleep status,and the Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD),Hamilton Anxiety Scale(HAMA),Self-assessment Scale for Depression(PHQ-9)and Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale(GAD-7)to assess anxiety and depression status.Results(1)Polysomnography monitoringthe wake time of observation group was significantly shorter than that of control group,the number of awakenings was significantly less than that of control group,and the percentage of N3 and REM was significantly higher than these of control group(P＜0.05).(2)Heart rate variabilityRMSSD and HF values in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group,and LF/HF values were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).(3)In terms of sleepduring the interview,PSQI total score,sleep quality,hypnotic drugs and daytime dysfunction in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05);At the 3 months,the sleep quality,hypnotic drugs and daytime dysfunction in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).In terms of emotionHAMA,HAMD and GAD-7 scores were significantly lower than those of control group at 6 weeks(P＜0.05);At the 3 months,HAMA and GAD-7 scores were significantly lower than those of control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Supplemented Wendan decoction combined with western medicine can obviously optimize the sleep structure of insomnia patients with anxiety and depressionof phlegm-heat disturbance syndrome,improve sleep continuity and deepen sleep depth,and improve parasympathetic functional activities,contribute to sympathetic parasympathetic balance,can improve insomniaand depression symptoms recently,and significantly improve anxiety symptoms in the short term,with good safety.
