The treatment was given once daily with 10 treatments constituting a therapeutic course, and 2 courses of treatment were given in both the groups. Results: After the treatment, of the 68 and 40 cases in treatment and control groups, 56 (82.3%) and 28 (70.0%) were cured, 11 (16.2%) and 8 (20.0%) improved in clinical symptoms and signs, 1 (1.5%) and 4 (10.0%) failed, with the total effective rate being 98.5% and 90.0% respectively, and the therapeutic effect of treatment group was significantly superior to that of control group ( P＜ 0.05).
