Efficacy and Mechanism of Moxibustion Treatment on Mild Cognitive Impairment Patients: An fMRI Study Using ALFF

Abstract

Moxibustion treatment might improve the cognitive function of MCI patients by modulating the brain activities within the default mode network, visual network, and subcortical network with a trend of increased ALFF values and functional asymmetry of the hippocampus. These results indicate that moxibustion holds great potential in the treatment of MCI.
