Before the treatment, there is no significantly statistical differences between two groups in terms of the modified Barthel index score (P>0.05).By contrast, after the treatment, the two groups had significantly statistical differences.(p<0.05)4. Before the treatment, there is no significantly statistical differences between two groups in terms of TCM symptoms grading quantization score (P>0.05).By contrast, after the treatment, the two groups had significantly statistical differences.(P<0.05)5.
