Abstract
Objective: This study aims to comprehensively verify the efficacy of Buyang Huanwu Decoction in improving cognitive function in patients with diabetes.
Methods: Patients clinically diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) assigned to either the placebo group or the Buyang Huanwu Decoction group. After strict screening and exclusions, a total of 156 participants completed the clinical trial, with 76 in the placebo group and 80 in the Buyang Huanwu Decoction group.
Results: After treatment, Buyang Huanwu Decoction group showed higher Mini-Mental State Examination and Montreal Cognitive Assessment scores compared to placebo (p < 0.05). Memory and Executive Screening, Boston Naming Test, and Animal Fluency Test scores were also higher in the treatment group (p < 0.05). No significant differences were found in DST and CDT scores (p > 0.05). Trail Making Test scores were lower in the treatment group (p < 0.05). No significant difference was observed between the two groups in terms of complications (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: Patients receiving Buyang Huanwu Decoction treatment demonstrated improvement in cognitive function, showing positive effects and providing preliminary evidence for the role of Buyang Huanwu Decoction in improving cognitive function in patients with diabetes. This suggests its potential for clinical application and further promotion.
