Analysis showed that acupuncture therapy and drug therapy sleep quality comparison, differences were statistically significant [MD=-1.14,95% CI (-2.05, -0.23), P=0.01]. Difference is statistically significant [Z=6.14, OR =5.24,95% CI= (3.09,8.89), P≈ 0.000 01]. Conclusion: Acupuncture is clinically effective in treating insomnia and has some advantages over conventional drugs, but more rigorous randomized controlled trials are needed for further validation due to the generally low quality of literature included in the study.
