Scientific Proof to How your Body react to Acupuncture - Memory Decline

Regular sessions of Acupuncture can improve cognitive function and memory.


Memory decline is often characterized in Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), Alzheimer's disease (AD), and Vascular Dementia.

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is considered a pathological state that lies between normal cognitive aging and Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

Cognitive impairments also prevail among neurologic disorders. Many people experienced cognitive deficits after stroke or if they are diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.

Studies suggest that acupuncture may enhance cognitive function through neuroplasticity and targeted brain stimulation.

Below are some of the many scientific papers that support Acupuncture in helping memory decline.

Conclusion: Acupuncture, especially with certain specific methods, remodel hippocampal subregional volume and connectivity to improve amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI). 

 
 

Conclusion:  Acupuncture enhances functional connectivity between the locus coeruleus and the inferior parietal lobule/the posterior cerebellum. These functional alterations appear to be linked to the efficacy of acupuncture, particularly in ameliorating memory deficits.

 
 

Conclusion: Many human and animal trials and studies report positive impacts of acupuncture on overall cognitive deficits and memory.

In particular, acupuncture could improve Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment, for geriatric population: orientation, perception, praxis, and attention in patients with stroke.

 
 

Conclusion: Acupuncture helps reduce amyloid-beta (Aβ), tau proteins, and neuroinflammation, while significantly improving cognitive outcomes in animal models.
