Effect of Du-Moxibustion Combined With Spine-Pinching Therapy on Cognitive Frailty in Older Adults With Prefrailty: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

This study is expected to provide high-quality evidence for the clinical efficacy of Du-moxibustion combined with spine-pinching therapy in managing CF and contribute to the integration of traditional Chinese medicine external therapies in the promotion of healthy aging. Although the single-blind design may introduce expectancy bias, strict randomization procedures and standardized interventions will enhance the reliability and scientific rigor of the results.
