Below are the specific methods and precautions for acupuncture treatment of Alzheimer's disease: I. Methods of Acupuncture Treatment for Alzheimer's Disease 1. Body Acupuncture Therapy Body acupuncture therapy involves the insertion of acupuncture needles into specific acupoints to regulate the flow of qi and blood, and to unblock the meridians, thereby improving the patient's cognitive function and symptoms. Commonly used acupoints include: • Baihui (GV20): Located at the intersection extended from the top of the head and the tips of both ears, it helps regulate brain function. • Sishencong (EX-HN1): Located 1 transverse finger width to the front, back, left, and right of the Baihui acupoint, it is often used to treat memory loss. • Fengchi (GB20): Located at the back of the neck, below the occipital bone, it helps regulate cerebral blood circulation. • Neiguan (PC6): Located 2 transverse finger widths to the upper side from the wrist crease on the front side of the forearm, it helps regulate the functions of the heart and brain. • Zusanli (ST36): Located about 4 transverse finger widths to the lower side from the knee, it helps regulate the functions of the spleen and stomach, and enhances physical fitness. • Yongquan (KI1): Located at the front part of the sole, in the concave area, it helps regulate kidney function and enhance memory. Acupuncture method: Multi-needle transfixion is used, such as transfixing Sishencong through Baihui, Dangyang through Shenting, and Fenglong through Zusanli, which has a significant effect. 2. Acupoint Injection Acupoint injection involves injecting drugs into specific acupoints, using the combined effects of the drugs and the acupoints to treat diseases. Commonly used drugs include: • Ginseng Injection: It has the effect of replenishing qi and enhancing intelligence. • Compound Danshen Injection: It has the effect of promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis and improving cerebral blood circulation. Injection acupoints: Bilateral Shenshu (BL23), Zusanli (ST36), and Sanyinjiao (SP6), etc., clinical observations have shown significant effects. 3. Electroacupuncture Therapy Electroacupuncture therapy is based on acupuncture, and electrical stimulation is applied through an electroacupuncture device to enhance the effect of acupuncture. Electroacupuncture therapy has a significant effect on improving cognitive function and alleviating symptoms. 4. Combination of Acupuncture and Medication Combination of acupuncture and medication is a treatment method that combines acupuncture with traditional Chinese medicine. For example, alternating acupuncture at Renzhong, Sishencong, Benshen, Zusanli, Taixi, etc., combined with oral administration of traditional Chinese medicine Fuyuan Decoction, the therapeutic effect is significantly better than acupuncture alone. II. Precautions for Acupuncture Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease 1.

Individualized Treatment: Based on the specific condition and physique of the patient, an individualized treatment plan should be formulated. 3. Long-term Persistence: Treating Alzheimer's disease is a long-term process, and patients need to persist in treatment and have regular follow-ups. 4. Comprehensive Treatment: Acupuncture treatment can be combined with other treatment methods (such as drug treatment, cognitive training, etc.) to achieve better results. III. Clinical Efficacy Acupuncture treatment for Alzheimer's disease has achieved certain therapeutic effects in clinical practice, which can improve the cognitive function of patients, alleviate symptoms, and improve the quality of life. For example, multi-needle transfixion and acupoint injection have achieved satisfactory results in clinical studies.
