T/CAAM 0003-2023 Evidence-based guidelines of clinical practice with acupuncture—Cognitive impairment

Scope

Acupuncture treatment for cognitive impairment should be based on identifying the underlying causes and subtypes, and the overall principle should be to "regulate the mind and enhance intelligence".
Acupuncture treatment for cognitive impairment should be initiated early to delay the progression of the disease. It should be continued over the long term to improve patients' cognitive function, quality of life, and psychological state. Additionally, based on the patient's main symptoms and their severity, comprehensive treatment involving traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine, cognitive training, and care recommendations can be implemented.
