This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of herb medicine in the treatment of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) using SVS PRESS MRS, MEGA-PRESS, and pCASL MRI. We randomly allocated a total of 30 MCI patients to an herb medicine or a placebo group and performed MRI scans before and after 24 weeks of treatment. We analyzed NAA/Cr, GABA/Cr, and cerebral blood flow (CBF) using repeated-measure analysis of variance (ANOVA). We found that the CBF measures were the most sensitive markers to evaluate the effect of the herb medicine on MCI.
