Research progress on the mechanism of post-stroke cognitive impairment by acupuncture and moxibustion intervention
Post-stroke cognitive impairment(PSCI)is a common complication of stroke.According to studies,acupuncture and moxibustion are excellent ways to reduce their symptoms and enhance cognitive performance.In recent years,the mechanism of acupuncture and moxibustion in treating the disease has also been developing.Through summarizing recent literature,it has been found that acupuncture and moxibustion have been found to inhibit central inflammatory reactions,resist oxidative stress injury,regulate enzyme activity,inhibit neuronal apoptosis,regulate the level of autophagy activity,and change vascular and blood rheology in the treatment of PSCI.And the existing problems in current research are explored,in order to provide better and effective references for clinical treatment of this disease.
