Abstract:

Sleep disorders are common complications in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. Sleep disorders not only reduce the quality of life of MHD patients, but also seriously affect the long-term prognosis of them. However, the current conventional treatment with sedative hypnotics is usually not so effective, and long-term use is prone to adverse reactions such as drug resistance. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has rich means and unique advantages in the treatment of MHD sleep disorders. This article reviewed the TCM etiology and pathogenesis of sleep disorders in MHD patients, as well as therapies including TCM decoction, acupuncture, ear point pressing beans, and TCM foot bath, etc, in order to provide clinicians with new ideas for the treatment of sleep disorders in MHD patients with integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine.

Key words: Maintenance hemodialysis, Sleep disorders, Traditional Chinese medicine
