Abstract: Insomnia is one of the most common clinical disorders. Meridian diagnosis, as a vital component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diagnosis, serves as a distinctive feature guiding acupuncture treatment in clinical practice. It possesses irreplaceable advantages compared to other diagnostic methods. This paper systematically reviews the existing literature on meridian diagnosis-based interventions for insomnia and concludes that, to date, the syndrome differentiation and treatment of insomnia via meridian diagnosis can be categorized into two major types: meridian physical examination and instrumental meridian detection, both of which are elaborated in this study. Meridian diagnosis has demonstrated favorable clinical efficacy in the treatment of insomnia, and further clinical and experimental investigations are warranted to fully exploit its unique clinical value.
