Abstract:Objective To observe the effect of Dihuang Yinzi on cognitive function in patients with mild Alzheimer′s disease (AD). Methods From December 2017 to December 2018, 50 patients with mild AD were collected from the outpatient and inpatient departments of DongFang Hospital Affiliated to Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, and they were randomly divided into traditional Chinese medicine treatment group and Western medicine control group by drawing lots, with 25 patients in each group. All the patients were given education. The traditional Chinese medicine treatment group was orally administrated with Dihuang Yinzi, while the Western medicine control group was orally administrated with Aricept. The scores of the Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) scale, Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scale and activity of daily living in the day of enroument and aftertreat ment were compared. Results After treatment, compared with the Western medicine control group, the calculation score, recall score, language score and total score of the MMSE scale in the traditional Chinese medicine treatment group were improved significantly (P < 0.01). After treatment, compared with the Western medicine control group, the visual space and executive function score, attention score, language score, delayed memory score and total score of the MoCA scale in the traditional Chinese medicine treatment group increased significantly (P < 0.01), and abstract thinking score also increased (P < 0.05). After treatment, compared with the Western medicine control group, there was no significant difference in the score of ADL scale (P > 0.05). Conclusion The Dihuang Yinzi can significantly improve the cognitive function of patients with mild AD.
