摘要

根據世界衛生組織在2023年資料顯示，全球已超過五千五百萬人口失智，未來失智的人口有逐漸增加的趨勢，失智症已成為全球關注的重要健康議題。依台灣健保資料庫分析，有超過四成失智病人尋求中醫治療，並且在中醫治療下可降低高血壓、重度憂鬱病人之失智風險。本文收集了治療失智症常見之單味中藥、方劑、針灸穴位及非針藥治療之文獻，以提供臨床治療失智症之參考。同時，血壓波頻譜分析亦提供了失智症之初步簡易快速之篩選方式，可當作未來診療失智症療效之依據。

According to the 2023 statistics from the World Health Organization, more than 55 million people have dementia globally, and the number of people with dementia continues to rise. Dementia has become a significant health issue of global concern. According to an analysis of the National Health Insurance Research Database, more than 40% of patients with dementia sought treatment from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). TCM treatment could reduce the risk of dementia in patients with high blood pressure and major depression. The current article collects literature on common single Chinese medicines, formulae prescriptions, acupoints, and non-acupuncture/non-medicine treatments for dementia to provide a reference for the clinical treatment of dementia. Furthermore, spectral analysis of blood pressure waveforms also provides a preliminary, simple, and rapid screening for dementia that can be used as a basis for evaluating the treatment efficacy of dementia in the future.
