What this Trial Is About
Researchers are conducting a clinical trial to compare the effects of two traditional Chinese medicine herbal formulas, Chaihushugan Decoction and Wen Dan Tang, on adults with chronic insomnia. This study aims to provide a scientific evaluation of these treatments using both objective and subjective sleep assessments to clarify their roles in managing sleep disorders. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either Chaihushugan Decoction or Wen Dan Tang, each given as 2 grams orally three times a day for 8 weeks. Sleep quality will be assessed at baseline, mid-treatment week 4, and post-treatment week 8 using overnight Digital Polysomnography and actigraphy to capture objective sleep data, alongside standardized questionnaires. During the study, participants will complete clinical questionnaires including the Insomnia Severity Index, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale to monitor changes in sleep and psychological health. Researchers will evaluate these data to understand the clinical and physiological effects of the two herbal treatments over the 8-week period.
