After the end of the treatment, the clinical efficacy was evaluated.
The patients with cognitive impairment after stroke were divided into control group, electroacupuncture group, olfactory therapy group, and electroacupuncture combined with olfactory therapy group, and sham group with 35 people in each group. All patients were treated with conventional drugs and general supportive treatment, and on the basis of this, the electroacupuncture group was given electroacupuncture treatment at bilateral Fengchi and Gongxue, the smell suction therapy group was given the intervention of volatile oil nasal suction of Acorus calamus, and the electroacupuncture group combined with smell and suction therapy group was given electroacupuncture treatment at the same time as the electroacupuncture treatment of bilateral Fengchi and Gongxue. In the sham stimulation group, non-transdermal comfortable acupuncture will be used to make the patients experience a feeling similar to acupuncture. After the 1 month innervation,the main efficacy indicators: Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Barthel Index (MBI) score, and the secondary efficacy indicators: Transcranial Doppler (TCD), near-infrared functional brain imaging , magnetic resonance examination， the heart rate,blood pressure and the State Trait Anxiety Inventory （STAI）are collected.
