Both groups were given routine symptomatic treatment； the control group was treated with electroacupuncture， and the study group was additionally treated with Bushen Huoxue tang based on the treatment of the control group.Both groups were treated for four weeks. The curative effect of Chinese medicine syndromes in the two groups were compared.Before and after treatment， the changes in scores of Mini- Mental State Examination(MMSE)， Clock Drawing Test(CDT) and Functional Independence Measure(FIM) in the two groups were observed.The adverse reactions in the two groups were recorded. Results： The classification of curative effect in the study group was significantly better than that in the control group(Z=2.267，P＜0.05). After treatment，the scores of MMSE，CDT and FIM in the two groups were increased when compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05)， and the scores of MMSE， CDT and FIM in the study group were higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05).
