The combination treatments of Acupunture and traditional Chinese medicine to
Alzheimer's disease in central Taiwan
Chin-Chung Lin
Feng-Yuan Hospital, Taiwan
Alzheimer‘s disease mainly cause the cerebrum nerve
cell incessancy to degenerate. It is estimated that
approximately 3~5% of the 65-year-old above population,
or 300000 senior citizens around Taiwan suffer from this
sickness. It has become a public health problem for the
society.
This research is conducted in Fong Yuan hospital located in
central Taiwan. The patients with slight to moderate level
of Alzheimer’s disease were diagnosed by neuron doctors
and were given the experiment by us. All of these patients
were conformed to the dementia diagnosis (DSM IV MMSE
10~24). In accordance with the acceptance, patients
had been divided into three groups: the experimental
group I (acupuncture and western medicine Aricept),
the experimental group II (acupuncture adds traditional
Chinese medicine and western medicine Aricept), and the
control group (only uses western medicine Aricept). There
were 90 patients with three groups and the each of the
patients is at least 50 years old.
The three groups were examined with MMSE, CASI C-20,
ADAS to evaluate the effectiveness of Acupuncture and
TCM for Alzheimer's patients. The above methods and
ADAS-NON evaluate the degree of improvement of the
patient’s condition. The first treatment and the second
treatment course were evaluated after 12 weeks, and 26
weeks. The main research mainly focuses on effectiveness
of Acupuncture and TCM PSUNHT1 for Alzheimer's
patients.
The above research employed the binomial examination.
After the process of Acupuncture and Chinese medicine
treatment, the experimental group of Alzheimer patient
CASI and the ADASN were evaluated and given score
regarding the progress. The result could support our
research goal: the combination treatment of acupuncture
and TCM PSUNHT1 can improve Alzheimer illness.
Moreover, the statistical results indicated that the average
score the experimental groups receive progressiveness
after treatment in ADAS1 and the ADAS2 were from 25.42
scores to 22.9 scores. On the other hand, by receiving the
average score of 15, the group of DAS3 treatment sees
progressiveness after the treatment. Comparing to in the
control groups in ADAS1 and the ADAS2 with average score
of 27.11, experimental groups' progressive scope surpasses
the control groups with score of 26.03. Also, among the
experimental groups, ADASN received an average score of
5.46 before treatment, and saw progresses to 3.00 scores
after the treatment. The progressive scope indicates that
the experimental groups surpass the control groups.
Conducted by using statistical method and analysis,
the result of the research indicates that a combination
treatment of acupuncture and TCM PSUNHT1 can
significantly improve the Alzheimer’s illness. We expect
that the acupuncture and TCM PSUNHT1 will become
useful methods to improve blood circulation and heal
functional brain. In conclusion, we prove that the
combination of traditional Chinese medicine PSUNHT1 and
acupuncture can be very helpful and effective in treating
the Alzheimer’s illness.
