“…Neuropsychological scales such as MoCA, MMSE and LOTCA-G can be applied to the entire process of predicting the onset, early recognition, and progression of PSCI, as well as to evaluate the efficacy of clinical research. Acupuncture at GV24, GV20, GV21, GV14, Mingmen (GV4), BL23, Shenmen (HT7), Xuanzhong (GB39), Sishencong (EX-HN1), CV6, CV12, CV17, Neiguan (PC6), SP6, SP10, Tianshu (ST25), ST36, Fenglong (ST40), Fengchi (GB20), Taichong (LR3) can improved these scores indicating cognitive improvement ( Yu et al, 2006 ; Huang et al, 2007b , 2021 ; Chou et al, 2009 ; Zhao et al, 2009 ; Shi et al, 2012 , 2015 ; Zhang et al, 2020 ; Yang et al, 2022 ; Yusufu et al, 2022 ).

Stroke is one of the important causes of both disability and death worldwide, which is very common in older adults. Post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) is a common secondary damage of stroke, which is the main cause of long-term disability and decreased quality of life in stroke patients, which brings a heavy burden to society and families. Acupuncture, as one of the oldest and widely used worldwide techniques in Chinese medicine, is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) as an alternative and complementary strategy for improving stroke care. This review comprehensively summarizes literature from the last 25 years, showing that acupuncture can exert strong beneficial effect on PSCI. The mechanisms of acupuncture on PSCI involves anti-neuronal apoptosis, promoting synaptic plasticity, alleviating central and peripheral inflammatory reactions, and regulating brain energy metabolism disorders (including improving cerebral blood flow, glucose utilization and mitochondrial structure and function, etc.), etc. The effects and mechanisms of acupuncture on PSCI reviewed in this study provides scientific and reliable evidence for acupuncture application for PSCI.
