title: [Influence of cerebral traumatic dementia treated with acupuncture at houxi and shenmen].
abstract: Sixty-two cerebral traumatic dementia patients were randomly divided into two groups acupuncture treatment group (Group A, 32 cases) and physical treatment group (Group B, 30 cases). The changes of MMSE scores and auditory P300 were observed before and after the treatment. It were found that the indexes in group A changed significantly (P < 0.05-0.001), and the indexes in group B didn't change significantly (P > 0.1-0.4). The therapeutic effect in group A was better than that in group B(P < 0.001). The results confirmed that the cognitive function of cerebral traumatic dementia patients was increased effectively with acupuncture at Houxi and Shenmen.
