Can acupuncture improve persistent sleep disturbance in veterans suffering mild traumatic brain injury and post traumatic stress disorder?
Persistent sleep disturbances are highly common in veterans with mild traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder
A clinical trial included 60 veterans, aged 24-55 years, with a history of mild traumatic brain injury and a post traumatic stress disorder diagnosis, and at least 3 months of sleep disturbance.
The veterans were divided into 2 groups, 1 group received acupuncture and the other group a sham needling procedure.
The trial concluded real acupuncture resulted in a significant improvement for veterans with mild traumatic brain injury, post traumatic stress disorder, and disturbed sleep.
