The changes in quantitative scores of the main symptoms and major signs (thoracic mobility, occipital-wall distance, finger-ground distance, and laboratory index (ESR)) were analyzed before and after treatment. Results. Of the 30 cases in the experimental group, 2 were clinically cured, 3 were apparently effective, 21 were effective, and 4 were ineffective, with an overall effective rate of 86.7%; of the 31 cases in the control group, 1 was clinically cured, 1 was apparently effective, 1 was effective. 24 were effective, and 5 were ineffective, with an overall effective rate of 83.9%.
