• W2119374340 abstract "Background In each country 2 to 8% of the individuals above 60 years old are expected to suffer from any form of the dementia, from which Alzheimer’s Disease is the most common form. This medical condition for which there is still no cure, puts a considerable amount of pressure on national health care systems facing immensely huge health care costs. The disease is already the sixth leading cause of death in the United States and it represents more than half of all Dementia cases, which are expected to quadruple over the next four decades. Objectives Heidelberg Scalp Acupuncture (HSA) is a novel somatotopic system of Acupuncture developed on the basis of existing correlations between specific skull acupoints, physiological functions and anatomical regions. Due to some positive personal experience with this technique, we are interested in finding whether it is possible to develop a study protocol to treat Alzheimer’s Disease by HSA, and to measure the potential clinical outcome using psychometric tests the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale cognitive subscale (ADAS-cog). We further propose a methodological approach to compare the efficacy of a combined therapy (HSA and pharmacological treatment) versus pharmacological treatment alone, on the cognitive function of AD patients. Methods After obtaining positive feedback from the ICBAS-UP Ethical Committee, fourteen patients diagnosed with AD by an independent Neurologist were contacted. Six of these subjects (mean age 78.5 years), showed willingness to be part of a preliminary study and after informed consent, HSA was applied. Permanent scalp acupuncture gold needles were retained for a three day period in the so called seven chakras with no change in the patients medication occurring during the test period (part of the eligibility criteria). Results Out of the six patients that took part in the experiment, five have shown better values in both tests after HSA. Regarding MMSE, average increase was 3.83 points" @default.
