简要总结

The aim of this study is to investigate whether enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) therapy for 7 consecutive weeks will improve cerebral blood flow and possibly over time enhance or slow down breakdown of cognitive function in patients diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).

结局指标

主要结局

Change in Cognitive Function

时间窗: Baseline, Week 7, 6 Month

Change in cognitive function measured using the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-cognitive sub-scale (ADAS-cog). Scale is used to determine patient's mental status. The scale has 11 parts and scores range from 0 (no impairment) to 70 (severe impairment).

次要结局

  • Cholesterol composition of the blood(Baseline to week 7)
  • Change in Blood Viscosity(Baseline to Week 7)
  • Change in Ophthalmic blood flow (OBF)(Baseline to Week 7)
