AB  - OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of moxibustion on cognitive function in patients 
      with cognitive decline of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS: A total of 47 
      patients with cognitive decline of T2DM were randomized into an observation group 
      (24 cases, 4 cases dropped off ) and a control group (23 cases, 3 cases dropped 
      off ). Conventional hypoglycemic intervention was adopted in the control group. 
      On the basis of the treatment in the control group, Huayu Tongluo moxibustion 
      (moxibustion for removing stasis and clearing collaterals) was applied at Baihui 
      (GV 20), Dazhui (GV 14), Shenting (GV 24), once every 2 days, 4 weeks were as one 
      course, totally 3 courses were required. Before and after treatment, scores of 
      auditory verbal learning test (AVLT), complex figure test (CFT), Montreal 
      cognitive assessment (MoCA) and trail making test-A (TMT-A) were observed in the 
      both groups, and the clinical effective rates were compared. RESULTS: After 
      treatment, the scores of immediate memory and delayed memory of AVLT in the 
      observation group were higher than those before treatment and those in the 
      control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the scores of visual space and executive 
      function, delayed memory, attention and orientation of MoCA in the observation 
      group were higher than those before treatment and those in the control group 
      (P<0.05). The effective rate was 85.0% (17/20) in the observation group, which 
      was superior to 10.0% (2/20) in the control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Huayu 
      Tongluo moxibustion has a definite effect on cognitive decline of type 2 diabetes 
      mellitus.
