Abstract:【Objective】 To investigate the efficacy of Guipi Decoction combined with a cerebral circulation therapeutic device in the treatment of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in the elderly. 【Methods】 A total of 40 elderly patients with MCI admitted to our hospitals from November 2024 to July 2025 were randomly divided into a control group (treated with Guipi Decoction) and an observation group (treated with Guipi Decoction combined with a cerebral circulation therapeutic device), with 20 cases in each group. Clinical efficacy between the two groups was compared. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom scores, Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores, Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scores, and Activities of Daily Living (ADL) scores were evaluated before and after treatment. 【Results】 The overall effective rate in the observation group (100.00%) which was higher than that in the control group (80.00%) (P<0.05). After treatment, TCM symptom scores in both groups were lower than those before treatment, while MMSE, MoCA, and ADL scores were higher than those before treatment. Furthermore, the scores for all TCM symptoms in the observation group showed even lower than those in the control group (P<0.05), and the MMSE, MoCA, and ADL scores were higher than those the control group (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Guipi Decoction combined with a cerebral circulation therapeutic device can significantly improve cognitive function and TCM clinical symptoms in elderly patients with MCI, and enhance their activities of daily living.
