Abstract

A subjective illness known to increase the likelihood of dementia is insomnia. In this study, we looked into the relationship between insomnia treatment with acupuncture and dementia risk. We gathered information from the public health care coverage exploration data set (NHIRD) of Taiwan to dissect the occurrence of dementia in patients with a sleeping disorder who got needle therapy treatment. A lower risk of dementia was observed in those with insomnia who received acupuncture treatment (adjusted hazard ratio=0.54, 95% confidence interval=0.50-0.60) than in those who did not. The acupuncture group had a significantly lower cumulative incidence of dementia than the non-acupuncture group (log rank test, p 0.001) According to the findings; acupuncture treatment significantly slowed or stopped the progression of dementia in insomniac patients.
