Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of electroacupuncture in the treatment of agitation symptoms in patients with Alzheimers disease AD Meanwhile the study aims to explore the brain central mechanism of electroacupuncture in the treatment of agitation symptoms in patients with AD by using resting state functional magnetic resonance technology
Detailed Description:
This is a multicenter parallel-group patient-blinded and outcome-assessor-blinded randomized controlled trial consisting of two stages a 8-week treatment period followed by a 8-week follow-up period The study aims to assess therapeutic efficacy and safety of electroacupuncture for agitated symptoms of AD Approximately 224 AD patients with symptoms of agitation will be randomly assigned to the electroacupuncture group or micro-electroacupuncture group 50 patients in each of the two groups will be selected to complete rs-fMRI scans before the initial treatment and after the last treatment in order to investigate the central mechanism underlying the effects of electroacupuncture treatment on functional activity in patients with AD patients with symptoms of agitation
