Objective: To explore the therapeutic effects of scalp acupuncture on sleep disorder induced by preexamination anxiety in the ***: A total of 60 undergraduates with sleep disorder induced by the final examination anxiety were randomized into three groups, named a control group(20 cases), a traditional acupuncture group(20 cases) and a scalp acupuncture group(20 cases). In the control group, no any treatment was given. In the traditional acupuncture group, acupuncture was given at Sìshéncōng(四神聪EX-HN1), bilateral Shénmén(神门HT 7) and bilateral Sānyīnjiāo(三阴交SP 6). The needles were manipulated with the even-needling technique and retained for 30 min. In the scalp acupuncture group, acupuncture was applied to uppermiddle line of occiput(枕上正中线MS 12), middle line of vertex(顶中线MS 5) and middle line of forehead(额中线MS 1). The needles were manipulated with the even-needling technique and retained for 30 *** treatment was given once a day and 5 treatments made one course. There were 2 days at interval among the courses. The therapeutic effects were analyzed statistically after 4 courses of treatment. Before and after treatment, the Hamilton anxiety scale(HAMA) and the Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI)were adopted to evaluate the conditions of pre-examination anxiety and sleep in the ***: In comparison of PSQI score, compared with those before treatment, the score in the scalp acupuncture group(12.95 ± 1.76 vs 15.95 ± 1.82) and in the traditional acupuncture group(13.75 ± 1.62 vs15.75±1.86) after 1-week of treatment were reduced(both P0.05). Compared with control group, the score in the scalp acupuncture group(12.95 ± 1.76 vs15.78 ± 2.02) and in the traditional acupuncture group(13.75± 1.62 vs 15.78 ± 2.02) were better(both P〈0.05). The difference was not significant between the scalp acupuncture group and the traditional acupuncture group(P0.05). In 2 and 4 weeks of treatment, as well as 1 week after treatment termination, compared with t
