Randomization Procedure (please state who generates the random number sequence and by what method):

This study used a multicenter Randomized controlled trial design with a sample size of 96 patients with early PD-MCI who did not have a drug adjustment plan in the next 3 months they were divided into treatment group (N = 48) and control group (N = 48) according to the ratio of 1:1 a total of 3 times a week for 12 weeks of acupuncture treatment. The clinical efficacy was evaluated before treatment 12 weeks after treatment 24 weeks after treatment (3-month follow-up after treatment) and 48 weeks after treatment (9-month follow-up after treatment) objective to objectively evaluate the efficacy and safety of acupuncture on mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in patients with early PD and to observe whether it can delay the progression of Pd so as to establish a generalizable acupuncture treatment scheme for PD-mci promoting acupuncture as an important treatment for PD-MCI.
