Control group: 4000 powder of polyethylene glycol in 10 g per time and twice a day only. The course of treatment was 4 weeks for both groups. We observed times of defecations,time of defecations,shape of the stools,difficulty of the defecations and abdominal fullness and other accompanying symptoms. Results: The curative effect was 93. 75% in treatment group but 80% in control group. So the curative effect of treatment group was obviously better than that in control group( P 0. 05). It is the sign of difference from the two groups' comparison in the point of statistics.
