Abstract

Objective

To review year 1956–2007 literature and explore the regularity of points selection and methods for acupuncture-moxibustion treatment of insomnia.

A comprehensive analysis was made by a method of metrological review according to the data from “China Modern Acupuncture-moxibustion Information Databank”.
