Condition: Parkinson's Disease · Chronic Appendicitis · Acupuncture · Sponsor: The First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China
The incidence of PD is high, and when the disease is serious to a certain extent, the effect of drugs to control symptoms decreases, resulting in a significant reduction in the quality of life of patients. Recent studies have found that these PD symptoms are closely related to the intestine. For several cases of PD syndrome patients complicated with chronic appendicitis, our research group conducted acupuncture on points related to constipation and chronic appendicitis, and found that constipation and related motor symptoms of patients could be significantly improved. Clinical studies have shown that acupuncture also has a certain therapeutic effect on non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease, such as anxiety and depression, decreased olfactory function, sleep disorders, constipation, early skeletal muscle pain, cognitive dysfunction, etc., which can delay the progression of the disease and improve the quality of life of patients. Starting from intestinal acupuncture, this project further clarified the role of acupuncture treatment in the comprehensive treatment of PD
