Guest guest Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 I'm working on a TCM research project about sleep disorders and was wondering if any of you had some info on how widespread this is, some stats, previous research etc. Kelvin Dewolfe www.1stdefense.info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Kelvin: No stats or research here. Just observation. Many of my patients report better sleep with acupunture - I am 5E trained and incorporate TCM and Dr. Tan, GuaSha. Recently I treated a patient who had been in a car accident. He reported neck and shoulder aching. Unable to look up without aching, restriction motion in the neck and head turning. I started treating him, day one, with GuaSha on neck, shoulders and back. Lots of stagnation came to the surface. I treated his GV line (upper) GB and SI shoulders (also Ahsi in the area) I did this for about 3 treatments, closed treating qualties on the pulses and 5E diagnosis. After 3 treatments or so, he reported sleeping through the night for the first time in a year. He held this for a while. Then he did some lifting (his mother from a wheelchair to the car) that caused him to throw things off. He was a bit panicked about regressing. I treated him again and reassured him. I always like to put the treatment results back to the patient. It is him and me affecting the result. Not just me. His sleep returned and with time he will see me less and less and realize he plays a major part in his healing.
