| Core Tip |
This study proposes a dynamic balance model to address the multidimensional challenges in promoting acupuncture as an insomnia treatment, emphasizing cultural narrative transformation, institutional innovation, and digital empowerment. It highlights the need to reshape cultural perceptions of acupuncture as a scientifically validated therapy, improve economic accessibility through insurance reforms and community clinics, and enhance patient-provider trust using artificial intelligence-assisted platforms and digital communication tools. The model advocates for synergistic optimization across the cultural, economic, and communication dimensions to transition acupuncture from a marginal to a mainstream therapy, offering diverse therapeutic options and hope for insomnia patients globally. |
