ABSTRACT

Purpose To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture and medicated oxygen therapy in the treatment of multiple infarctional dementia(MID). Methods 150 cases of MID were randomized into three groups group A in which 50 cases were treated by acupuncture and medicated oxygen, group B in which 50 cases were treated by acupuncture and inhaled oxygen and group C in which 50 cases were simply treated by acupuncture. Results The clinical effects were obviously better in group A than those in group B and group C ( P ＜ 0.05, P ＜ 0.01 ). Conclusion Chinese medicine together with oxygen and acupuncture can improve brain blood circulation, activate brain cells, increase the volume of brain blood flow and its blood supply, and enhance the clinical effects.
