Core Tip	This multicenter registry study will investigate real-world clinical data from patients with mild cognitive impairment and subjective cognitive decline treated with traditional Korean medicine (TKM), including acupotomy. It is the first registry-based study to focus on this population in primary care. By collecting information on demographics, cognitive function, treatment procedures, and adverse events, this study aims to examine the safety and effectiveness of comprehensive TKM treatment, including acupotomy. Findings from this registry are expected to serve as a foundation for planning and conducting future clinical studies.
