Methods:...Objective: To observe the relative specialty of the therapeutic effect of acupuncture of Baihui (百会 GV 20), Shuigou (水沟 GV 26) a nd Shenmen (神门 HT 7) in the treatment of vascular dementia (VD) patients. Methods: F ifty VD patients were randomly divided into routine treatment group (control gro up), Baihui (GV 20) group (GV 20 group), Shuigou (GV 26) group (GV 26 gr oup), Shenmen (HT 7) group (HT 7 group) a nd GV 20+GV 26+HT 7 group (joint treatment group), with 10 cases in ea ch group. In control group, acupoints used were Jianyu (肩NFDA1 LI 15), Quchi (曲池 L I 11), Waiguan (外关 TE 5), etc. (which were also used in the other four groups) on the paralyzed side. The treatment was conducted once a day except weekends, 20 session s all together. Clinical Dementia Rating Scale (CDR), Mini-Mental State Examin at ion (MMSE) test, Blessed Dementia Rating Scale (BDR) and Clinical Neurological D eficit Rating (CNDR) were used to assess the patients’ intelligence state befor e and after acupuncture treatment. Results: After acupuncture tr eatment, the VD patients’ intelligence in all the five groups was improved at different degrees . Additional acupuncture of each of GV 20, GV 26 and HT 7 had a remarkable e ffec t in improving the VD patients’ fluid intelligence, and could obviously promote their abilities of temporal orientation, spatial orientation and figure drawing ; and additional joint acupuncture of the three acupoints could improve their co gnitive and non-cognitive functions, such as reducing the severity of dementia , raising the temporal orientation, spatial orientation, calculation, short-term m emory and figure drawing abilities, and improving their activities of daily livi ng and personality. Besides, acupuncture of GV 20 could improve the abilities of calculation and short term memory, and correct the personality change of VD pat ients, while acupuncture of GV 26 could improve the abilities of naming and sh or t-term memory. Conclusion: Acupuncture of GV 20, GV 26 and HT 7 all had a certai n therapeutic effect in improving VD; the therapeutic effects of acupuncture of GV 20 and GV 26 were better than that of acupuncture of HT 7; and the effica cy of the three points used in combination was the best.展开更多
