Journal of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University 2014;(8):976-978
Objective] To observe the clinical effects of Tianwang Buxin decoction in the treatment of heart Yin deficiency type of Generalized Anxiety Disorder. [Methods] 63 patients with Generalized Anxiety Disorder(heart Yin deficiency type) were randomly divided into three groups: Tianwang Buxin decoction group, paroxetine group, Tianwang Buxin decoction combined paroxetine group, course of treatment for 8weeks.Contrast the scores of three groups by HAMA before and after treatment. [Results] The clinical efficacy was almost the same among the three groups without significant difference, but the decrease of HAMA scores of Tianwang Buxin decoction combined paroxetine group was obviously lower than Tianwang Buxin decoction group and paroxetine group(P<0.05), among which, TCM group and combination group of TCM and WM had less side effect than WM group. [Conclusion]The clinical efficacy of Tianwang Buxin decoction group is almost the same with the paroxetine group without significant difference. The clinical efficacy of Tianwang Buxin decoction combined paroxetine group is more significant.

Objective To study the clinical efficacy of electromyography biofeedback on dystonia after hepatolenticular degeneration.Methods 40 patients with dystonia after hepatolenticular degeneration were divided into treatment group (n=20) and control group (n=20).All patients were treated with copper-cleaning, clonazepam and benzhexol hydrochloride etc., and acupuncture. The treatment group wastreated with electromyographic biofeedback in addition. They were assessed with modified Ashworth scale, modified Barthel index, and ankledorsiflexion active range of motion. Results The lower extremities function of all patients improved after treatment (P<0.05) and thetreatment group improved more than the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Electromyography biofeedback is more effective to improvethe lower extremities function and activity of daily living in patients with hepatolenticular degeneration following dystonia.
