To observe the effect of acupuncture for insomnia. Based on the principle of regulating the Governor Vessel and refreshing the mind, 41 insomnia cases were treated with acupuncture. After that, the scores of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90) were compared before and after the treatment. There were statistical differences in each component score of PSQI or SCL-90 and global scores before and after the treatment (P<0.01). The coefficient correlation between the pre-treatment and post-treatment difference of global SCL-90 scores and that of global PSQI scores was 0.34 (P<0.05). The needling method of regulating Governor Vessel and refreshing mind can substantially increase the sleep quality and relieve psychosomatic symptoms, and the improvement of psychosomatic symptoms was positively correlated to the sleep quality.
