After four months, I will observe and analyse the changes of clinical syndrome and MMSE,ADL scale to achieve the conclusions.Result:1.Only two groups has apparent difference in MMSE scale before and after the treatment,MMSE scale of the Chinese medicin and external counterpulsation group is much better than the western medicine group.2.The Chinese medicin and external counterpulsation group achieves a much better score in the ability to live according to the ADL scale.3 The clinical syndromes of the Chinese medicin and external counterpulsation group improve distinctively compared with the three groups left. 4. No adverse reaction occurs during the observation process.Conclusion:The granules of Kaixinjiannao and Enhanced External Counterpulsation combination therapy has obviously advantage in improving clinical syndroms and the two scales,so we can extend the application of this method. |
