Abstract: Objective To explore the clinical effect of ear point pressing bean combined with Chaihu Shugan powder on cancer-related insomnia in patients with lung cancer. Methods A total of 80 patients with insomnia caused by lung cancer in Sanshui District People's Hospital from January 2021 to January 2022 were randomly divided into the observation group (pressing beans at ear points+Chaihu Shugan powder plus or minus formula) and the control group (estazolam). The clinical effects of the two groups were compared. Results The total effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the levels of CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD4+/CD8+ between the two groups before treatment and after 3 days of treatment (P>0.05). After 7 days of treatment, the levels of CD3+, CD4+, CD4+/CD8+ in the observation group were significantly higher than those before treatment (P<0.05); the levels of CD4+ in the control group were significantly higher than those before treatment (P<0.05). And the levels of CD3+, CD4+, CD4+/CD8+ in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group after 7 days (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and blood creatinine (Cr) levels between the two groups (P>0.05). After treatment, the TCM symptom score and SCL-90 score of the two groups were significantly lower than those before treatment (P<0.05), and the TCM symptom score and SCL-90 score of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the observation group and the control group (P>0.05). Conclusion Auricular Point Pressing bean combined with Chaihu Shugan powder has a significant clinical effect in the treatment of cancer-related insomnia in patients with lung cancer. It can effectively improve immune function and has a good safety. It is worthy of clinical promotion.
