The therapeutic efficacy was analyzed and evaluated comprehensively depending upon a defecation check table developed from the XU Zhong-fa's 5-item 10-integrable system.

RESULTS: After treatment, the improvements of the anal controlling capacity, the defecatory sensation, the frequency of defecation in the treatment group were significantly better than those in the control group (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05). The integral function of defecation in the treatment group was obvionsly improved by the end of treatment when compared with before treatment and the control group (P < 0.01).
