Association of Sleep Quality With Pathologic Staging, Acupuncture Treatment in Patients With Chronic Atrophic Gastritis: a Cross-sectional Study

In order to inform clinical treatment decisions and maximize treatment outcomes, this observational study set out to examine the relationship between pathological severity and sleep quality in patients with CAG. The idea that "if the stomach is not in harmony, you will be restless" is supported by this evidence from traditional Chinese medicine. Assessing patients' knowledge and acceptance of acupuncture therapy, determining the current general trend in CAG treatment, and assessing the initial effectiveness of acupuncture therapy in treating CAG with sleep disturbances. It is envisaged that the aforementioned investigations will aid in further refining the clinical research strategy of acupuncture and moxibustion with CAG with sleep disorders, enhance the effectiveness of treatment, and offer a more cost-effective and practical choice for treating CAG with sleep disorders. The primary research issue is: can the traditional Chinese medical notion of "restlessness due to disharmony of the stomach" be validated in order to ascertain whether there is a correlation between pathological severity and sleep quality in patients with chronic atrophic gastritis? The pathological conditions of CAG patients were gathered based on the most recent gastroscopy report within a year, and the patients' sleep quality scores from the previous month were gathered via a questionnaire.
