Description
Summary:We investigated the effectiveness of acupuncture point stimulation device on cognitive disturbances and its effect of peripheral symptom in person suffering from senile dementia. The evaluation was examined by using HDS-R (Hasegawa's Dementia Rating Scale), ADL (Activities of Daily Living), and POMS (profile of Mood states). As a result, HDS-R scores, ADL scores (Abnormal Behavior and Emotional Faculty items) and POMS scores (Tension-Anxiety and Fatigue items) of the Rehabilitation group were significantly higher than those of the Control group.
