Abstract
The pathological process underlying Alzheimer's disease may take as long as decades. There are no specific measures for persistent, progressive mental decline once clinical symptoms are presented. Western medication helps to stabilize the condition but does not have a long-term effect. Acupuncture has a good effect for AD and does not cause side effects. We observed and analyzed 50 AD cases between January 2015 and February 2016 using the mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and Hasegawa dementia scale revised (HDS-R). The results are now summarized as follows.
