Abstract:Objective:To observe the effect of three-part tuina combined with auricular point seed-pressing on fatigue and sleep quality in maintenance hemodialysis patients. Methods: A total of 126 maintenance hemodialysis patients treated at Nanyang Central Hospital from January to September 2025 were selected and randomly divided into a combination group and a control group using the random number table method,with 63 cases in each group. The control group received routine care,while the combination group received additional three-part tuina combined with auricular point seed-pressing based on the control group's regimen. Both groups were intervened for four weeks. Changes in scores of the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-F) scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and traditional Chinese medicine syndrome, as well as polysomnography (PSG) parameters [total sleep time (TST), wake after sleep onset (WASO), sleep efficiency( SE),sleep latency( SL)] were compared between the two groups before and after the intervention. Results: After intervention, FACIT-F scores increased in both groups compared to before intervention, while PSQI scores decreased (P<0.05). The combination group had higher FACIT-F scores and lower PSQI scores than the control group (P<0.05). HADS scores and traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores decreased in both groups after intervention (P<0.05), with lower scores in the combination group (P<0.05). After intervention, TST and SE increased in both groups compared to before intervention (P<0.05),while WASO and SL decreased (P<0.05). The combination group had longer TST and higher SE and shorter WASO and SL than the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion:Three-part tuina combined with auricular point seed-pressing effectively improves fatigue,sleep quality and anxiety-depression states,and optimizes sleep structure in maintenance hemodialysis patients.
