Summary
This study is testing whether adding acupuncture to the standard Alzheimer's medication donepezil can better help patients with mild to moderate symptoms.

Researchers will measure changes in memory, thinking skills, and the ability to perform daily tasks to see if the combination therapy offers more benefit.
