The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of electroacupuncture (EA) in treating insomnia associated with depression.
A total of 270 patients were randomly assigned to one of three groups: EA treatment combined with standard care, sham acupuncture (SA) treatment with standard care, or standard care alone. The intervention lasted for eight weeks, followed by a 24-week observational follow-up.
The EA group showed significant improvements in sleep quality and reductions in depression severity compared to the other groups. These benefits were sustained during the follow-up period.
The authors concluded that electroacupuncture, when combined with standard care, is both effective and safe for treating depression-related insomnia.
