Objective: To observe the therapeutic effect of modified Bushen Huoxuetang combined with acupuncture at Baihui and Sishencong points in treatment of vascular dementia of liver and kidney deficiency type. Method: A total of 180 cases of vascular dementia of liver and kidney deficiency type were randomly divided into the modified Bushen Huoxuetang group
the acupuncture group and the acupuncture combination with modified Bushen Huoxuetang group
with 60 cases in each one. Modified Bushen Huoxuetang was provided in the modified Bushen Huoxuetang group; the acupuncture at Baihui and Sishencong points group was applied the acupuncture group; the acupuncture combined with modified Bushen Huoxuetang was adopted in the acupuncture combination with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) group. The course of treatment was 28 days. Hastgawa Dementia scale (HDS)
activities of daily living (ADL) and mini-mental state examination (MMSE) were applied to compare the efficacy of the 3 groups before and after treatment. Superoxide dismutase (SOD)
calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and serum levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) were detected. Result: The efficiency of modified Bushen Huoxuetang combination with acupuncture group was 91.2%
which was better than 79.7% of the acupuncture group and 70.7% of the modified Bushen Huoxuetang group (P<0.01). After treatment
the score of HDS
ADL and MMSE were improved significantly (P<0.05) in three groups. The acupuncture combination with TCM group was superior to the other groups; SOD
CGRP and MDA in the modified Bushen Huoxuetang combination with acupuncture group were better than those of the other two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion: Modified Bushen Huoxuetang combination with acupuncture at Baihui and Sishencong points could remarkably increase HDS
ADL and MMSE sores of vascular dementia of liver and kidney deficiency type
improve SOD
CGRP and MDA
with a superior clinical efficacy to single administration of modified Bushen Huoxuetang or acupuncture at Baihui and Sishencong points.
