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.展开更多
