During a recent meta-analysis of 1,108 acupuncture patients, it was found that placebo controls were less effective than acupuncture when it comes to improving sleep. Total sleep time, sleep onset latency, sleep efficiency and waking from sleep were all looked at. Auricular, electroacupuncture and standard body style acupuncture were all examined, each were found to be therapeutically effective for improving sleep.
In another investigation by researchers at the University of Toronto which was published in the Journal of Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, they found that acupuncture treatment was effective for insomnia and anxiety treatment. Using only acupuncture, patients were administered 10 acupuncture treatments over a five week period. These patients in the investigation had increases in melatonin secretions, reduced anxiety and overall improved sleep.
