Methods: A total of 100 patients were randomly divided into the control group (conventional acupuncture) and the treatment group (umbilical acupuncture combined with body acupuncture). Both groups received treatment 3 times a week for 4 consecutive weeks. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) and TCM syndrome score were used for efficacy evaluation. Results: After treatment, the total PSQI score, ISI score and TCM syndrome score in the treatment group were significantly better than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The total effective rate of sleep quality in the treatment group reached 96.00%, and the total effective rate of TCM syndromes was 94.00%, both of which were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Umbilical acupuncture combined with body acupuncture can significantly improve the sleep quality and TCM syndromes of patients with insomnia of liver depression transforming into fire type, with definite curative effect and simple operation, which has good clinical application value.umbilical acupuncture, body acupuncture,insomnia of liver depression transforming into fire type,sleep quality,traditional Chinese medicine syndromes
