The expert group provides comprehensive guidance on trial design, implementation, and analysis of the results, and the design group reports weekly to it on the progress if no special circumstances occur.The Ethics Committee and DSMC are responsible for the approval of the trial design and the occasional monitoring of the trial.Acupuncture and Moxibustion Ward 3 is the main site for the implementation of the trial, from which the patients are sourced and treated, with the medical and nursing staff and the rehabilitation therapists providing accurate operation.
