Overview

This study highlights the importance of preventing or prolonging the development of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) into dementia. The authors point out that both auriculotherapy and vagus nerve stimulation are effective on improving cognitive functions, but there is no double blinded randomized clinical trial to support the effectiveness of transcutaneous electrical stimulation of auricular acupoints in patients with MCI.

Original Abstract of the Article :
There are 9.9 million new cases of dementia in the world every year. Short-term conversion rate from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to dementia is between 20% and 40%, but long-term in 5-10 years ranges from 60% to 100%. It is particularly important to prevent or prolong the development of MCI into...See full text at original site
