The patients in the treatment group were treated with acupuncture combined with tuina, while those in the control group were treated with medication. The effects of two groups were compared after a 3-day treatment. RESULTS: The total effective rate was 97.5% in the treatment group, versus 87.5% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).
