Objective:To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of Chinese herbal medicine of Qingnao Yisuei Buxue (QYB) combined with low dose huperzine A in treatment of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in patients. Method: Patients with MCI of 46 cases were randomly divided into treatment group and control group (n=23 each). Control group was given QYB
the treatment group was given QYB combined with low dose huperzine A (50 μg
tid). The treatment in two groups was carried out for 24 weeks. The scores of a simplified intelligent check list (MMSE) were determined for both groups before treatment and 8 and 24 weeks after treatment. Result: No significant difference could be found in MMSE scores after 8 weeks of treatment between the two groups. After 24 weeks of treatment
MMSE scores in both groups were significantly better than that before treatment (P<0.05). Also
the score in the treatment group was better than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: QYB combined with low dose huperzine A can improve the cognitive impairment in treatment of patients with MCI
