Methods: A total of 46 cases of vascular dementia (VD) patients were divided into 3 classes according to the scores of the revised Hasegawa dementia scale (HDS), and then randomized into EA group (n=23) and medication (Nimodipine) group (n=23). The acupoints used were "Zhisanzhen" [Shenting (GV 24) and bilateral Benshen (GB 13)] and Sishenchong (EX HN 1) etc.. Scores of HDS, ability of daily life (ADL), neurofunctional defect and main symptoms were used as the indexes for assessing the therapeutic effect. Results: Following treatment, scores of HDS and ADL of two groups increased significantly, while those of neurofunctional defect and main symptoms decreased evidently (P<0.01), and the therapeutic effect of EA was obviously superior to that of medication (P<0.01). Conclusion: EA of "Zhisanzhen" and Sishenchong (EX HN 1) is a good approach for treatment of VD.展开更多
