There were significant differences (P<0.05) between treatment group (95.4%) and control group (80.9%). The NIHSS score, Modified Rankin Scale score in two groups were significantly lower than that before treatment, while Barthel index, ADL was significantly higher than that before treatment at14d and21d (P<0.05).
