The cause of dementia is brain degeneration and functional impairment.Different parts of the brain have various symptoms. Cases of dementia of the same severity will also have multiple clinical manifestations. For example, the signs of occipital degeneration are mainly visual misidentification and visual hallucinations, while the core symptoms of frontal degeneration are personality changes and difficulty in thinking and planning. Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners can assess possible degenerative parts through consultation during clinical diagnosis and treatment. After determining the case’s leading symptoms and the corresponding disease location, the Chinese physician can choose the corresponding acupuncture points to give acupuncture, electric acupuncture, massage, and other stimuli. This paper will introduce the most important anatomical structure of the brain-the degenerative symptoms of the brain lobe and give clinical treatment recommendations.
