Abstract
Objective: To observe the influence of acupuncture-moxibustion treatment on patients with mild cognition disorder. Methods: Sixty patients with mild cognition disorder were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group, with 30 cases in each group. Acupuncture-moxibustion treatment was used in the treatment group, while Western medicine was taken by the patients in the control group. The differences of intra-group and inter-group comparisons were assessed by 3 measurement scales including Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE), Activity of Daily Living (ADL) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Results: After treatment, the MMSE, MoCA and ADL scores of both groups were higher than those before treatment (P<0.05). The MMSE, MoCA and ADL scores of the treatment group have more noticeable improvement than those of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Acupuncture-moxibustion treatment can effectively improve cognitive function of the patients with mild cognitive impairment.
