Clinical Observation On The Efficacy Of "Feiteng Eight Methods" Combined With Conventional Acupuncture In The Treatment Of Mild Cognitive Impairmen

In this study,patients with mild cognitive impairment(mild cognitive impairment,MCI)were screened by symptom manifestations and related scales,and a database of subjects was established.At the same time,combined with the scale,the effectiveness and safety of Feiteng Bafa combined with conventional acupuncture in the treatment of MCI were evaluated from various aspects of Chinese and Western medicine.By comparing the efficacy of the Feiteng Bafa combined with acupuncture group and the conventional acupuncture group in the treatment of MCI,the clinical efficacy differences between the two groups in improving cognitive status were observed,providing new ideas for non-drug treatment of MCI.The subjects were selected from the outpatients of the Preventive Treatment Center of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine from December 2020 to October 2022 and the patients in the community health center who had a cooperative relationship with the hospital.According to the inclusion criteria,60 subjects who met the criteria were selected.The subjects were divided into two groups by random number table method using Excel,with 30 cases in each group.Finally,there were 27 cases in the actual flying eight methods combined with conventional acupuncture group and 25 cases in the conventional acupuncture group.The Feiteng Bafa combined with acupuncture group used the Feiteng Bafa to open the acupoints on time combined with conventional acupuncture,and the conventional acupuncture group used conventional acupuncture.Both groups were given health education for 8 weeks,acupuncture 3 times a week,30 minutes each time,a total of 24 times.Before the intervention(week 0)and after the intervention(week 8),the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale Beijing Edition(Montreal Cognitive Assessment,MoCA),the Simple Mental State Examination Scale(Mini-mental State Examination,MMSE),and the Daily Living Ability Rating Scale(Activity of Daily Living Scale,ADL)were used to evaluate the cognitive improvement of patients.The second edition of the Dementia Syndrome Factor Scale(PES-D-1 1)was used to evaluate the improvement of TCM symptoms in patients,in order to evaluate the efficacy of Feiteng Eight Methods combined with conventional acupuncture in the treatment of MCI from neuropsychology and TCM syndromes.Results:In this study,60 patients with MCI were included,and 8 cases were lost due to epidemic situation and personal reasons.Finally,27 cases in the Feiteng Bafa combined with conventional acupuncture group and 25 cases in the conventional acupuncture group.There was no significant difference in age,gender,education level and each scale between the two groups at the time of enrollment,with good baseline consistency.After 8 weeks of intervention,the total score of MoCA scale,memory index and each factor score of the two groups were significantly different from those before treatment(P<0.05).The memory index,visual space execution ability,naming ability,attention,language ability,delayed recall ability and overall cognitive ability of the observation group were higher than those before treatment(P<0.05).The memory index,visual space execution ability,attention,delayed recall ability orientation and overall cognitive ability of the control group were higher than those before treatment(P<0.05).Compared with the control group,the observation group improved the overall cognitive situation.It is more effective in improving memory and enhancing visual space execution ability,and there is no significant difference in language ability,attention and abstract ability.The MMSE scores of the observation group and the control group were higher than those before treatment(P<0.05),and the MMSE score of the observation group was higher than that of the control group(P<0.05).The ADL scores of the two groups were lower than those of the baseline period(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in ADL scores between the two groups after treatment.This study selected the most kidney deficiency syndrome to analyze.Compared with before treatment,the kidney deficiency syndrome scores of the two groups decreased(P<0.05),There was no significant difference in kidney deficiency syndrome scores between the two groups after treatment(P>0.05),but the difference of syndrome scores before and after treatment in the observation group was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:The eight methods of Feiteng combined with conventional acupuncture and conventional acupuncture can improve the cognition of MCI patients.2.Compared with simple conventional acupuncture,Feiteng Bafa combined with conventional acupuncture is more effective in improving overall cognition,improving memory and enhancing visual spatial execution ability.3.Feiteng Bafa combined with conventional acupuncture has advantages in alleviating the degree of kidney deficiency symptoms in patients.4.Both intervention methods can improve the living ability of patients,but it is not considered that Feiteng Bafa combined with conventional acupuncture is significantly better than conventional acupuncture in improving living ability.
