Abstract:Objective To investigate the clinical effect of acupuncture at Dazhui and Baihui of Governor Vessel as the main points in the treatment of vascular mild cognitive impairment.Methods Sixty patients with vascular mild cognitive impairment admitted to Mentougou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2017 to January 2020 were selected as subjects.They were divided into the acupuncture group and the medication group by the random number table method,with 30 patients in each group.The two groups were both treated with secondary prevention of cerebrovascular disease and repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation.The acupuncture group were given acupuncture at Dazhui and Baihui of Governor Vessel as the main points combined with dialectical selection of other points,at the frequency of 3 times per week.The medication group were given oral Donepezil Hydrochloride 5 mg,once a day.After completing the 12-week treatment according to the study requirements,the changes of the scores of Montreal cognitive assessment scale(MoCA),concise mental state scale(MMSE)and picture clock test(CDT)were observed in the two groups,and the therapeutic effect of the two groups was compared.Results After treatment,the scores of MoCA,MMSE,and CDT in the two groups were higher than those before treatment,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).After treatment,the scores of MoCA,MMSE,and CDT in the acupuncture group were higher than those in the medication group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).After treatment,the total effective rate of the acupuncture group was 93.33%,and that of the medication group was 60.00%.The total effective rate of the acupuncture group was higher than that of the medication group,with statistically significant difference(P<0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture at Dazhui and Baihui of Governor Vessel as the main points combined with dialectical selection of other points can effectively improve the cognitive function of patients with vascular mild cognitive impairment,which is worthy of promotion.
