Then assess the two group-s'changes of clinical symptoms and safe indexs before and after treatment and their adverse reactions,use the statistical software of spss13.0 to analyze the symptoms improved and follow up the recurrence.Results:1,Analysis of the curative effect of two groups:treatment group (thirty-two cases were cured, seven cases were excellently effective, three cases were effective, one case was invalid);control group(ten cases were cur-ed, two cases were excellently effective, two cases were effective, one case was invalid), there were no significant difference between two groups in the rate of total efficacy,full recovery and excellent efficacy through analyzing the data(P>0.05).2,Comparing the two groups'symptoms score:The main clinical symptoms were significantly improved after treatment, and their score dropped obvi-ously (P<0.05). But the treatment group was better than the control group in improving the functional constipation patients'stool texture, the difference between two groups was significant (P<0.05). There was no signi-ficant difference between two groups in improving other clinical symptoms (P>0.05).3,There were no adverse reactions in two groups during treatment.
