Results The total effective rate of the treatment group and the control group was 92.6% and 56.0% respectively, and the difference was significant（P〈0.01）. All scores of both groups were greatly decreased in comparison with those before treatment （P〈0. 01）. The comparison between groups after treatment showed significant difference（P〈0.01）.
