Acupuncture was conducted for 4 consecutive weeks, five times per week, on weekdays. The needles were either twirled at Tiaoshen Yizhi acupoints, including Sishencong (EX-HN1), Yintang (EX-HN3), Neiguan (PC6), Taixi (KI3), Fenglong (ST40), and Taichong (LR3), or at related sham acupoints at a depth of approximately 15 mm, an angle of ± 60°, and a rate of approximately 120 times per minute. In this study, 32 patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment were randomly divided into two groups, where they received either Tiaoshen Yizhi acupuncture or sham acupoint acupuncture.
Thus, the time course of the therapeutic effects of acupuncture remains unclear. However, most functional magnetic resonance imaging studies have focused on acute changes in brain activation induced by acupuncture.
