This paper summarizes the research status of acupuncture and moxibustion in the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease,in order to reveal the potential mechanism,efficacy evaluation and future research direction of acupuncture and moxibustion in the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease,and provide theoretical basis and reference for acupuncture and moxibustion in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease in clinical work.Acupuncture mainly shows the therapeutic effect on Alzheimer's disease by affecting brain regions such as cognition and memory,regulating the level of excitatory amino acids in the brain,and regulating acetylcholinesterase in the hippocampus.Through the analysis of the clinical application of acupuncture and moxibustion in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease,it is found that Sanyinjiao(SP 6),Shenmen(HT 7)and Tianzhu(BL 10)may be the core combination.In clinical practice,acupoints of head,face,neck and lower limbs are often selected,such as Baihui(DU 20),Sishencong(EX-HN 1),Shenmen(HT 7)and Zusanli(ST 36).Studies have also shown that the selection of acupoints such as Fengchi(GB 20),Tianzhu(BL 10),Fengfu(DU 16)and Zhongwan(RN 12)has a higher rate of symptom relief.
