The researchers conducted a comprehensive network meta-analysis of 62 randomized controlled trials, examining the effects of acupuncture on cognitive function, self-care, and safety. Their findings suggest that ophthalmic acupuncture plus cognitive training was the most effective acupuncture therapy for improving cognitive function, while scalp acupuncture plus body acupuncture was the most effective for improving daily living self-care.
