Abstract
Senile dementia, i.e. Alzheimer disease (AD), is a latent and degenerative disease in the neurological system and clinically characterized by memory disturbance, cognitive disturbance, and personality changes. Because the pathogenesis of this disease is still not definite, currently the therapeutic methods and medications of precise therapeutic effects have not been revealed yet... It has been proven by the clinical and experimental studies that electroacpuncture (EA) could produce better therapeutic effect for senile dementia, but the points were mainly selected from the head... According to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory that "phlegm results from stomach deficiency" and 'there is no magic method for dementia except resolving phlegm," we treated 37 AD cases by EA at Zusanli (ST 36) and Fenglong (ST 40) from March 2014 to Marchc 2015, and compared with a control group treated by Donepezil Hydrochloride tablets.
