The control group was treated with traditional Chinese medicine Zhiyi decoction while the study group was treated with traditional Chinese medicine Zhiyi decoction combined with acupuncture. The clinical efficacy and levels of serum ADH, serum inflammatory factors (TNF-α and IL-6) were compared between two groups before and after treatment.

The total efficiency of study group was significantly higher than that of control group (P<0.05), and the recurrence rate was significantly lower than control group (P<0.05). After treatment, there was no significant change in ADH level of study group at 10am and 11pm (P>0.05). In control group, the level of ADH at 11pm before treatment was lower than that after treatment (P<0.05) and the level of ADH at 10am before treatment was not significantly different from that after treatment (P>0.05). The levels of serum TNF-α and IL-6 in study group and control group decreased at 10am and 11pm after treatment (P<0.05) There was no significant difference in serum TNF-α and IL-6 levels between study group and control group before treatment (P>0.05).
