Abstract

Objective: To observe the effect of acupuncture combined with cognitive training in the treatment of patients with mild cognitive impairment. Methods: A total of 70 patients with mild cognitive impairment admitted to our hospital from March 2024 to April 2025 were selected as the research subjects and randomly divided into two groups. One group (control group, 35 cases) received cognitive training, and the other group (observation group, 35 cases) received acupuncture combined with cognitive training. The cognitive function level and quality of life of the two groups were compared. Results: The cognitive function score of the observation group after treatment was higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). The quality of life score of the observation group after treatment was higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Acupuncture combined with cognitive training for patients with mild cognitive impairment can improve patients' cognitive function, enhance their quality of daily life, and facilitate their recovery.
