This research is to select 30 cases of insomniac patients treated with “LV’s Umbilicus Moxibustion” from the outpatient department of our hospital from June 2017 to September 2018, which aims to explore the therapeutic effect of “LV’s Umbilicus Moxibustion” on insomnia. Through mathematical analysis of their data we got the minimum value of the augmenter of the length of total sleep recorded by MI Band Wristband before and after treatment was -0.17 hours, the maximum value was 5.17 hours, and the average was (2.54 ± 1.18) hours; the minimum value of the augmenter of the length of deep sleep recorded by MI Band Wristband before and after treatment was -6.00 minutes, and the maximum value was 88.00 minutes, and the average was (39.30 ± 21.57) minutes; the minimum value of the PSQI Reductive Ratio was 6.25%, the maximum value was 81.25%, and the average was (57.36% ± 16.29%). And it proves that the “LV’s Umbilicus Moxibustion” has shown good curative effect in the treatment of insomnia in clinical applications, so it is worthy of clinical trials to discuss its clinical efficacy.
