To systematically review the clinical efficacy and safety of acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training in the treatment of post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI). Chinese and English databases such as CNKI, Wanfang database, CBM, PubMed, Embase and The Cochrane Library were searched for randomized controlled trials of acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training in the treatment of PSCI. RevMan 5.4 was used to evaluate the quality of the literature and Meta analysis. Publication bias was determined by Egger test and funnel plot. A total of 30 RCTS were included with 2506 participants. The results of Meta-analysis showed that acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training was superior to the single treatment group in improving the effective rate, increasing the Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) score and BI index, reducing P300 delay and increasing P300 amplitude. Acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training has significant clinical effect in the treatment of PSCI, and the combination of the two has synergistic effect, and it is worthy of further study and discussion.
