Abstract

Objective: To observe the effect of scalp acupuncture combined with cognitive training in the treatment of patients with mild cognitive impairment after stroke. Methods: A total of 64 patients with mild cognitive impairment after stroke admitted to our hospital from January to December 2024 were selected as the research subjects and randomly divided into two groups. One group (control group, 32 cases) received cognitive training, and the other group (observation group, 32 cases) received scalp acupuncture combined with cognitive training. The cognitive function level and activities of daily living (ADL) ability 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 ADL score of the observation group after treatment was higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Scalp acupuncture combined with cognitive training for patients with mild cognitive impairment after stroke can improve patients' cognitive function and ADL ability, contributing to their recovery.
