ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To compare the clinical effect of Tongdu Xingshen (promoting the governor vessel and regaining consciousness) acupuncture and moxibustion combined with cognitive training and the simple cognitive training for post-stroke mild cognitive impairment (PSMCI).METHODS:
Eighty-four patients with PSMCI were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, with 42 cases in each group (3 cases in the observation group and 2 cases in the control group dropped off). The observation group was treated by Tongdu Xingshen acupuncture and moxibustion combined with cognitive training, acupuncture was given at Baihui (GV 20), Sishencong (EX-HN 1), Shenting (GV 24), etc., and moxibustion was given at Shenting (GV 24) , Baihui (GV 20), Shendao (GV 11), Fengfu (GV 16) and Xinshu (BL 15). The control group was only given cognitive training. All the above treatment was given once a day, 5 times a week, for 4 consecutive weeks. The scores of Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA), mini-mental state examination (MMSE), activity of daily living (ADL) and stroke-specific quality of life (SS-QOL) were compared between the two groups before treatment, after treatment, 4 weeks and 12 weeks after treatment.RESULTS:
After treatment, 4 weeks and 12 weeks after treatment, the MoCA, MMSE and SS-QOL scores of the two groups were all higher than those before treatment (P<0.05), and the ADL scores were lower than those before treatment (P<0.05). In the observation group, the MoCA and MMSE scores were higher than those of the control group after treatment, 4 weeks and 12 weeks after treatment (P<0.05), and the SS-QOL score was higher than that of the control group 12 weeks after treatment (P<0.05).CONCLUSION:
Both Tongdu Xingshen acupuncture and moxibustion combined with cognitive training and simple cognitive training can improve cognitive function, daily living ability and quality of life in patients with PSMCI, and the combined therapy is superior to simple cognitive training in improving cognitive function and long-term quality of life in patients with PSMCI.Palavras-chave
