摘      要：Objective:This study is conducted to determine the effects of SOOJI CHIM(Koryo hand acupuncture,KHA)therapy on sleep structures and perimenopause symptoms among ***:Totally 49 participants who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled in a two-arm randomized,placebo controlled,patients-blind trial,with 24 cases allocated to a real-KHA group and 25 cases allocated to a sham-KHA *** in each group received corresponding treatment every other day,three times a week for total eight *** actigraphy and testing of serum hormones level reflected by biological markers such as follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH),luteinizing hormone(LH)and estradiol(E2)were performed at pre-and ***,the scores of Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI)was used for assessing the subjective sleep experience of ***,adverse effects were monitored and ***:After eight-week treatment,the global scores of PSQI declined significantly(P0.05).According to the outcomes of actigraphy,a striking increase was observed in both sleep efficiency(SE)and total sleep time(TST)in the real-KHA group(both P0.05).However,no significant changes of sleep awakenings(SA)in both groups was found after treatment(both P0.05).Meanwhile,FSH and LH in the real-KHA group decreased markedly after intervention(both P0.05).The fluctuation of E2 levels were not significant in both groups(both P0.05).No serious adverse event was reported in either real-or sham-KHA ***:KHA may be a potential alternative therapy for improving perimenopausal insomnia via down regulating the levels of FSH and LH.
