The treatment period was 4 weeks. The curative effect, the scores of self-rating depression scale (SDS) and self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and adverse reaction were compared between two groups. Results At the improvement of depressive symptoms, the effective rate in treatment group and control group was 88.9%(24/27) and 39.1%(9/23), and there was significant difference (P<0.01). At the improvement of anxiety symptoms, the effective rate in treatment group and control group was 74.1%(20/27) and 26.1%(6/23), and there was significant difference (P<0.01). The total effective rate in treatment group and control group was 88.9%(24/27) and 65.2%(15/24), and there was significant difference (P<0.05).
