The therapeutic effect were analyzed after 3 tberapeutic courses. RESULTS: Tbe cured and markedly effective rate and the effective rate were 82.5% and 98.2% in the treatment group, and 57.4% and 8O.9% in the control group, with a very significant difference between the two groups (P<0.01). After treatment, there was a very significant difference in the cumulative score of pain between the two groups (P<0.01).
