In addition, the number of nocturnal awakenings decreased, and sleep latency was reduced.Conclusions: This study suggests that integrative Korean-Western medicine treatment based on <i>Gami-seogyeong-tang</i> may improve clinical symptoms and enhance quality of life in a patient with supraspinatus tendinopathy accompanied by sleep disturbance.
