Note: before treatment, there were no significant differences in HAMD scores, somatization, confusion, block, sleep, depression, etc. among the three groups (). There were significant differences in lag, sleep, depression, and other aspects (), but there was no significant difference between the two treatment groups (). The difference between the treatment group and the drug group was statistically significant () [24, 25].
