Another 64 cases during the same period were used as control group, and treated with conventional therapy. After treatment, the symptom improvement of both groups were evaluated by the scoring criteria of HAMD and Kupperman, and the related hormone levels were detected and recorded. Adverse reactions after treatment were also observed. Results Clinical results showed that the HAMD and Kupperman score of both groups in end of treatment were better than before treatment, and the improvement degree in observation group were better than control in. The differences were signiifcant (P<0.05). Test results showed that the improvement of various hormonal indicators in observation group were also better than that in control group, the diffierences were significant (P<0.05). 8 cases of adverse reactions were observed in observation group after treatment, 12 cases in control group.
