Methods: 92 cases were divided randomly into the treatment group (treated by acupuncture-moxibustion and Chinese Tuina) and the control group (treated,by acupuncture-moxibustion). Results: The therapeutic effect of the treatment group was obviously Superior to that of the control group (the x^2 test showed P〈0.01). Conclusions: The comprehensive therapy of acupuncture-moxibustion and Chinese Tuina can give marked therapeutic effects for,treatment of insomnia due to deficiency of both the heart and spleen.展开更多
