P<0.01),and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(
P<0.01).The total effective rate was 85.71% in the intervention group and 0 in the control group,the difference was statistically significant(
P<0.01).The incidence of sweating,insomnia,irritability,depression,fatigue and palpitations in the intervention group were improved obviously after the treatment,the difference was statistically significant(
