Abstract
    [Objective] To discuss the curative effect of Naokang Ⅱ in treating aged insomnia patients with kidney vacuity and essence depletion or the intermingled phlegm and blood stasis type. [Methods] All 140 patients were randomized into the observation group and the control group, the observation group took Naokang Ⅱ combined with estazolam orally, and the control group took estazolam only. Course of treatment was 4 weeks for both groups. Scores of Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) and WHO quality of life scale (WHOQOL-BREF) were used to evaluate the quality of life, sleeping quality and side effect before and after therapy.[Results] The efficiency of observation group (91.7%) was superior to that of control group (87.3%) (P<0.01). After treatment, the scores of PSQI factors (sleep quality, time of falling asleep, sleep time, sleep efficiency, sleep disorders, hypnotic and day function) and the total scores were decreased compared with the data before treatment in both groups (P<0.01). Scores of PSQI factors and the total scores in observation group were lower than those in control group (P<0.01). After treatment, scores of physiology, mentality, environmental and social relations were higher than the data before treatment (P<0.01). And scores of these data in observation group were higher than those in control group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). [Conclusion] Naokang Ⅱ can improve the sleeping quality and enhance the life of quality in patients in aged insomnia patients with kidney vacuity and essence depletion or the intermingled phlegm and blood stasis type.
