Abstract
Objective: To observe the event related potential 300 (P300) after scalp acupuncture treatment in patients with cognitive disorder due to cerebral infarction, and evalueate its therapeutic effect. Methods: Sixty-six patients aged below 70 years old with cognitive disorder after initial onset of cerebral infarction were randomized into a treatment group and a control group. Conventional neurological drugs and physical tranings were prescribed to both groups. In addition, the treatment group received scalp acupuncture. The two groups were compared by evaluating the latency and amplitude of P300 before and after the 3-month treatment. Results: After treatment, the latency of P300 was shortened by 39.1 ms in the treatment group, versus 16.7 ms in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: P300 can objectively evaluate the therapeutic effect of scalp acupuncture in treating the patients with cognitive disorder due to cerebral infarction. Scalp acupuncture has positive effect in treating this group of patients.
