针刺治疗老年痴呆的临床研究进展

Clinical Research Progress of Acupuncture in the Treatment of Senile Dementia

对近10年来CNKI核心期刊中有关针刺治疗老年痴呆的临床研究进行综述。在临床研究上通过对针刺治疗以及综合治疗前后量表的变化进行对照、探讨,发现针刺对老年痴呆患者的认知、生活自理能力有明显改善作用。但仍然存在很多问题,今后应该采取大样本、大范围的长期对照性人群试验;也应该对能有效治疗老年痴呆特定穴,如十二经井穴,进行深入的研究。未来应继续注意最新的医学研究成果,同时应开展预防学、心理学等多学科的研究,与针刺治疗的方法结合,减少老年痴呆疾病的发生率、降低老年痴呆患者的临床症状以及提高老年痴呆患者的治疗效果。

Clinical research on acupuncture therapy for senile dementia in CNKI core journals in the past 10 years was reviewed. In the clinical study, the changes of the scale before and after acupuncture treatment and comprehensive treatment were compared and discussed, and it was found that acupuncture significantly improved the cognition and self-care ability of senile dementia patients. However, there are still many problems. In the future, large sample and large scale long-term controlled population trials should be carried out. Further research should also be carried out on specific points that can effectively treat alzheimer’s disease, such as the twelve jing points. In the future, we should continue to pay attention to the latest medical research results, and at the same time, we should carry out multidisciplinary research in prevention science, psychology and other fields, and combine them with acupuncture therapy to reduce the incidence of alzheimer’s disease, reduce the clinical symptoms of alzheimer’s disease patients and improve the therapeutic effect of alzheimer’s disease patients.
