Abstract：Objective：To study the literature on Chinese medicine treatment of senile mild cognitive impairment(MCI) by bibliometric method，and to sort out the status quo and syndrome elements of Chinese medicine treatment of senile MCI. Methods：The retrieval strategy was determined；the relevant literature on Chinese medicine treatment of senile MCI was retrieved from CNKI， CBM， VIP， WanFang， PubMed， EMBASE， The Cochrane Library and other databases， and the literature was screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria；SPSS17.0 software was used for statistical analysis of the data including research types ， research contents and Chinese medicine syndrome elements. Results ： A total of 216 pieces of literature were included and divided into 94 randomized controlled trial(RCT) studies， 45 non-RCT studies， 27 traditional reviews， 23 cross- sectional studies， 22 expert experiences and 5 systematic reviews according to their research types. Among the 89 pieces of literature related to Chinese medicine，there appeared 72 kinds of Chinese herbal compound， Chinese patent medicine and extract. Among the 69 documents that recorded the specific composition of Chinese medicines， 130 kinds of Chinese medicines were obtained through analysis. A total of 74 pieces of literature described the syndrome types of MCI，with 48 syndromes being summarized；there were only 12 syndrome types with a frequency of over 10%，24 syndrome types with a frequency of less than or equal to 3 times，and 14 syndrome types only appeared for once；there were 23 syndrome elements，including 10 disease-location syndrome elements and 13 diseasetype syndrome elements. Conclusion：At present，there is still a lack of unified standard for the treatment of MCI by Chinese medicine，which restricts the improvement of clinical treatment level and the promotion of systematic treatment of MCI to a certain extent. Therefore，it is necessary to understand the current research status of syndrome differentiation，treatment and medication of MCI by Chinese medicine. In the next step，according to the basis of literature research，the questionnaire of Chinese medicine for MCI can be developed to optimize the method of syndrome research of MCI，provide a basis for the formulation of diagnosis and treatment plan of Chinese medicine for MCI， promote the clinical application of Chinese medicine and improve the curative effect.
