| Summary: | Cognitive impairment has emerged as a major public health challenge among the elderly in China. Addressing this urgency, the advancement of evidence-backed, accessible and scalable non-pharmacological intervention frameworks is no longer optional but a pressing priority for clinical practice. This consensus focuses on the common non-drug intervention means of cognitive impairment in clinical practice, such as neuromodulation technologies [transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS)]; exercise training (aerobic exercise, resistance training, aerobic-resistance combined exercise training, and combination with other task interventions); cognitive training (traditional paper-and-pencil training, computerized cognitive training, and personalized training); dietary interventions [mediterranean diet, ketogenic diet, and dietary approaches to stop hypertension (DASH) diet]; psychosocial therapies (psychotherapy, music-movement training, calligraphy training, music therapy, animal-assisted therapy, doll therapy and reminiscence therapy); and traditional Chinese medicine therapies (acupuncture treatment, tuina treatment and Qigong exercises). This document systematically synthesizes the evidence-based medical research in related fields in the past ten years, aiming to provide more diversified and effective treatment means for patients with cognitive impairment and offer scientific guidance for clinical practice of cognitive impairment. |
