To observe the therapeutic effect of scalp electroacupuncture on Parkinson disease (PD) of grade 1.5-3.0 on Hoehn-Yahr scale.
Thirty patients with Parkinson disease were randomized equally into the treatment group and control group. Patients in the treatment group were treated by scalp eletroacupuncture at the contralateral points of MS6, MS4, MS8, MS9 and MS14 in cases of unilateral lesions or at the bilateral points for bilateral lesions, with also medication with Madopar. The patients in the control group were given Madopar only. The scores of Webster scale and the motor function of United Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) were used to for assessment before and after the therapeutic course (6 weeks).
Tremor, rigidity and bradykinesia were obviously improved in both the groups (P<0.05). The difference in the score of Webster scale was not significant between the two groups (P>0.05), but the treatment group showed greater improvement in motor functions than the control group (P<0.05).
Scalp electroacupuncture is effective and safe for therapy of Parkinson disease.
观察头针治疗Hoehn-Yahr分级为1.5 - 3.0级帕金森病（PD）的疗效。
将30例帕金森病患者随机分为治疗组和对照组，每组各15例。治疗组采用头针治疗，单侧病变取对侧MS6、MS4、MS8、MS9及MS14穴位，双侧病变取双侧穴位，并给予美多芭药物治疗；对照组仅给予美多芭药物治疗。治疗6周后，采用Webster量表评分及统一帕金森病评定量表（UPDRS）运动功能评分进行疗效评定。
两组患者震颤、肌强直及运动迟缓症状均有明显改善（P<0.05）。两组Webster量表评分差异无统计学意义（P>0.05），但治疗组运动功能改善程度优于对照组（P<0.05）。
头针治疗帕金森病安全有效。
