Abstract:
The paper introduces the diagnostic and therapeutic ideas and clinical experience of Professor LIU Zhibin in treatment with acupuncture for Parkinson's disease with mild cognitive impairment. Professor LIU believes that the basic pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease with mild cognitive impairment refers to the deficiency of liver and kidney, and the loss of mind control. Therefore, the treatment focuses on nourishing the liver and kidney, regulating the governor vessel, opening the brain orifice, and regulating the mind. The point prescription is composed of Tongdu Tiaoshen zhen (the points for promoting the circulating of the governor vessel and regulating the mind, i.e. four-mind needles [Extra], Shenting [GV24], bilateral Benshen [GB13] and Fengfu [GV16]), xiusanzhen (three-olfaction needles, including bilateral Yingxiang [LI20] and Yintang [GV24+]) and zhichan bazhen (eight anti-tremble needles, i.e. Baihui [GV20], Lianquan [CV23], and Hegu [LI4], Waiguan [TE5], Taichong [LR3], Zusanli [ST36], Sanyinjiao [SP6] and Taixi [KI3] on the affected side). Besides, the prescription is modified according to the syndrome, and the special technique of bone-touching needling is combined to enhance the therapeutic effect.
