For a control study,118 patients were treated with conventional acupuncture. The courses of treatment and the curative effects were compared. Results:The cure and marked efficacy rate was 90.9% in the treatment group and 69.5% in the control group. There was a significant difference (P＜0.01).There was also a significant difference in the cure and marked efficacy rate in each courses of treatment between the two groups (P＜0.01).
