To find out an effective therapy for Parkinson's disease.
Sixty cases were randomly divided into an abdominal acupuncture group and a control group, 30 cases in each group. The abdominal acupuncture group were treated with Madopa and abdominal acupuncture at Zhongwan (CV 12), Xiawan (CV 10), Qi-hai (CV 6) and Guanyuan (CV 4), etc. ; and the control group were treated with Madopa.
After treatment of 3 courses, the effective rate was 90.0% in the abdominal acupuncture group and 83.3% in the control group with a significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05).
Abdominal acupuncture combined with Madopa can elevate therapeutic effect of Madopa and reduce adverse effects of Madopa for the patient of primary Parkinson's disease.
探寻帕金森病的有效治疗方法。
将60例患者随机分为腹针组和对照组,每组30例。腹针组采用美多巴联合中脘(CV 12)、下脘(CV 10)、气海(CV 6)、关元(CV 4)等穴位进行腹针治疗;对照组仅采用美多巴治疗。
治疗3个疗程后,腹针组有效率为90.0%,对照组有效率为83.3%,两组差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。
腹针联合美多巴可提高美多巴对原发性帕金森病患者的治疗效果,并减少美多巴的不良反应。
