The results were as follows ; 1. In the relation between the radiological size of the lesion and recovery, the real moxibustion group showed significant recovery compared to sham moxibustion group and non moxibustion group in the middle size lesion patients. 2. In the relation between the anatomical lesion and recovery, there was no significant difference among real moxibustion group, sham moxibustion group and non moxibustion group. 3.
