The Potential Benefit of Xiao-Yao-San Treatment in Patients With Insomnia

Patients who received Xiao-Yao-San 9 g/day (Kaiser Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd.) were selected for the Xiao-Yao-San group by traditional Chinese doctor with 8 years of experience.

Participants who attended the WLCs in our hospital and were willing to participate in our study were included in the WLC group (control group). Our WLCs consisted of 8 sessions of 2-hour dietary advice/exercise guidance and 1 session of weight-loss consultation in 3 months. The participants assessed their weights at the beginning, at 1.5 months, and after every class. They underwent pre-PSG tests in the beginning and post-PSG tests after 3 months of lectures.
