Abstract

Mild cognitive impairment is a transitional period between normal aging and dementia. Nowadays, due to the aging of the population, the incidence of mild cognitive impairment is increasing. At present, due to the medication limitations and adverse effects of western drugs, Chinese medicine has certain advantages in the treatment of mild cognitive impairment. This paper summarises the research progress of Chinese medicine in the treatment of mild cognitive impairment in recent years, and aims to provide theoretical reference and practical guidance for the treatment of mild cognitive impairment with Chinese medicine by elaborating on the pathogenesis of mild cognitive impairment and the treatment of mild cognitive impairment with Chinese medicine.
