BackgroundThis study aimed to observe the clinical effects of "He Tiao Du Ren An Shen Acupuncture" (HTDRAS Acupuncture) for treating restless leg syndrome (RLS).MethodsWe randomly divided 66 RLS patients into 2 groups: the observation group received "He Tiao Du Ren An Shen Acupuncture" and the control group received conventional acupuncture. All participants were treated once a day, 6 days a week, with 1 day off, for a total of 1 month. Clinical effectiveness of the 2 groups was compared, neurotransmitter levels, the International Restless Leg Syndrome Scale and the Hamilton Anxiety Scale were assessed in both groups.ResultsThe curative effect in the observation group was better than that in the control group (P < .05). After treatment, the expression of 5-hydroxytryptamine in the observation group was higher than in the control group (P < .05). The International Restless Leg Syndrome Scale and Hamilton Anxiety Scale scores in observation group were lower than those in control group (P < .05).Conclusion"He Tiao Du Ren An Shen Acupuncture" for RLS is significantly effective and safe. It can effectively improve the levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine in RLS patients, alleviate clinical symptoms and reduce anxiety.
