Then we follow-up the patients after one month and observe the change of symptom again.ResultsBefore treatment, through statistical analysis, there are no statistical difference among three groups of patients’general conditions (gender, age, duration), their symptoms and physiology score, diet,sleep, defecate, complexion, etc. So they are comparable. After treatment, the result of the massage + Traditional Chinese Medicine group is 6 remarkably effective cases, 22 effective cases and 2 invalid cases; the result of the Traditional Chinese Medicine group is 1 remarkably effective case,17 effective cases and 12 invalid cases; the result of the western medicine group is 1 remarkably effective cases,21 effective cases and 8 invalid cases.
