Abstract:
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of needling the Chorea Trembling Control Area in treating Parkinson’s Disease (PD). Methods Sixty patients with PD were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 30 in each group. The treatment group was intervened by needling the Chorea Trembling Control Area plus oral administration of Levodopa and Benserazide Hydrochloride;while the control group was by oral administration of Levodopa and Benserazide Hydrochloride alone. The clinical efficacies were compared after 3 treatment courses. Results After intervention, the Webster scores were significantly changed in both groups (P<0.05). There was a significant difference in comparing Webster score between the two groups after intervention (P<0.05). The total effective rate was 93.0%in the treatment group versus 83.0%in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions Acupuncture at the Chorea Trembling Control Area plus medi-cation is an effective method in treating PD.
