Sleep patterns in a randomized controlled trial of auricular acupuncture and cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia
2017 Aug Complementary Therapies in Medicine Bergdahl L, Broman JE, Berman AH, Haglund K, von Knorring L, Markström A
Auricular acupuncture, as given in this study, does not improve insomnia symptoms to the same extent as CBT-i and cannot be considered as a sufficient stand-alone treatment. Sleep time does not necessarily affect the perception of insomnia symptoms, and prolonged sleep time does not automatically yield better sleep.

Theoretical Article Acupuncture Insomnia
The research methodology used in this paper is mainly a theoretical analysis and discussion of the potential synergistic effects of combining cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and acupuncture. This involves analysis of the current evidence base for the efficacy of acupuncture in treating insomnia and related conditions, along with examination of the practical, logistical, and regulatory aspects of combining these two treatments.
In the discussion of their results, the researchers found that there is a growing body of evidence that supports the potential benefit of acupuncture in treating insomnia and its comorbidities, enhancing the current standard treatment approach of CBT-I. This appears to be an innovative approach that could potentially enhance the treatment effectiveness and outcomes for those struggling with insomnia, though it concurrently raises complex issues in terms of its practical and regulatory implementation.
