A systematic review from the US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health found that electroacupuncture could improve orientation, perception, praxis and attention with older patients with stroke.

Another study published in the Journal of Acupuncture and Meridian Studies found that patients who were given acupuncture treatment saw an increase in memory and decrease in anxiety when completing a given task to test working memory. A study published in the Public Library of Science concluded that acupuncture treatment for patients with Alzheimer disease and mild cognitive impairment can activate cognitive- related regions in the brain to help improve memory.
