Supplementary file 2_Adjunctive electroacupuncture to facilitate discontinuation of non-be

78 adults with chronic insomnia disorder will be enrolled in a single-blind, randomized controlled trial. The protocol describes a study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of electroacupuncture as an adjunctive therapy for reducing non-benzodiazepine hypnotic use over a 6-week treatment period. The trial protocol was authored by Yaoxin Chen and is available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Analyzing trial design and methodology for adjunctive insomnia treatments based on the described single-blind, randomized controlled structure.
• Studying acupoint selection and treatment protocols for electroacupuncture in sleep medicine based on the predefined acupoints listed.
• Evaluating outcome measures for hypnotic discontinuation studies based on the primary outcome of successful NBZD discontinuation rate.
• Reviewing safety assessment frameworks for acupuncture trials based on the systematic monitoring of adverse events described.

Strengths

• The protocol specifies a sample size of 78 participants, providing a basis for statistical power.
• It details a 6-week standardized tapering protocol for non-benzodiazepine hypnotics.
• Outcome measures include both subjective sleep scales and objective parameters like polysomnography and actigraphy.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 25.4 KB DOCX file containing a study protocol, not the resulting clinical trial data.
• Row count and column-level documentation for any potential accompanying data are unknown.
• The description is specific to the trial design; the actual results and patient-level data are not included in this file.
