Method: The patient's age and disease type and individual specific conditions were considered in choosing therapy methods accordingly: Chinese herbs, acupuncture, auricular seed pressure, point finger pressing, massage, orthopedic hand manipulation, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, language therapy, etc. Meanwhile we created a new CP treatment model that combines hospitalized treatment with family therapy. Results: The majority of CP patients improved greatly in motor and social adaptation capacities after treatment. Wilcoxon paired rank sum test analysis showed that there were significant differences between the data before and after treatment (P＜0.01). Conclusion: This combined therapy method, based on traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine plus family supplemental therapy, is an effective and practical treatment strategy for CP children in China.展开更多

Results:The relapse/metastasis rate of 1-,2-,3-,4-,and 5-year were 0(0/98),2.04%(2/98),11.69% (9/77),14.06%(9/64),and 21.28%,(10/47)in the combined group,and were 4.80%(5/104),16.35% (17/104),21.65%(21/97),25.93%(21/81),and 38.18%(21/55)in the WM group,respectively.A significant difference was found in the second year between the two groups(χ~2=12.117,P = 0.000).Median relapse/ metastasis time was 26.5 months in the combined group and 16.0 months in the WM group.Conclusion: The combined therapy of TCM and WM may have great clinical value and a potential for decreasing the relapse or metastasis rate in stageⅡandⅢcolorectal cancer after conventional WM therapy.展开更多
