Abstract
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.
