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.
