and Web of Science
RCTs of acupuncture and moxibustion for MCI were searched
and the time duration was ranged from January 1st
2018 to October 31th
2023. The general information and outcome indexes of the included studies were collected and analyzed through literature screening and data extraction.
Results
2
A total of 46 studies were eligible
with 2 072 samples and 18 diagnostic criteria involved. The outcome indexes were categorized into 7 domains according to functional attributes
including clinical symptoms/signs
TCM symptoms/syndromes
physical and chemical examination
quality of life
psychiatric and mental health
safety assessment
and patient satisfaction. Eighty-four outcome indexes were reported
with the use frequency of 237. Currently
RCTs of acupuncture and moxibustion for MCI were limited in the big difference in neuropsychological assessment tool
the inadequate reports on educational degree/educational years
the diversity of physical and chemical detection indexes
the inconsistency of the time points for outcome evaluation
the insufficient application of primary and secondary outcomes
the lack of the application of TCM diagnosis
pattern/syndrome differentiation and outcomes
and the shortage in long-term prognosis and economic assessment.
Conclusion
2
It is recommended to specify and develop the core outcome set of acupuncture and moxibustion for MCI to advance the standardization of related research design
