Prader-Willi Syndrome
Conditions
Brief summary
To evaluate the effectiveness of rhGH (Recombinant human growth hormone) injection for improving motor development in patients with PWS.
Interventions
Drug: Recombinant Human Growth Hormone Injection /Jintropin AQ, 30IU/10 mg/3ml/kit, 0.5 mg/m2/d for the first 4 weeks, then 1.0 mg/m2/d for subsequent 48 weeks; by subcutaneous injection, once per day for total 52 weeks.
