The effective rate for rest group was96.67%and73.33%for control group, test group was higher than control group in cure rate. There was a significant difference in effective rate between the two groups (P<0.05).3. After the treatment quality of life measured with a SF-36scale was higher than before the treatment in each group (p<0.05),and there was a significant difference in integral between the two groups (P<0.05).
