After treatment，MMSE scores in the two groups were increased when compared with those before treatment，and the scores of SFRS and PANSS were decreased；MMSE score in the observation group was higher than that in the control group，and the scores of SFRS and PANSS were lower， differences being significant(P＜0.05). The RSESE score in the observation group was lower than that in the control group， and the ITAQ score was higher， differences being significant(P＜0.05).
