Abstract
Objectives : This study was designed to research the effects of oriental treatment on dyskinesia with lower limbs caused by Parkinson's Disease. Methods : We prescribed Yukmijihwang-tang (六味地黃湯) and Jaumganghwa-tang (滋陰降火湯) and treated acupuncture through Shinjungkyuk (腎正格) every day. It was used to treat the Shinjeonghyuson (腎精虧損) symptoms. We analyzed the frequency of dyskinesia over one night at intervals of three days and measured the score of 'Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale' every week to evaluate the entire symptom's improvement. Results and Conclusion : He had been treated with western medicine to improve the dyskinesia symptoms, but couldn't get a noticeable result. Having oriental treatment for 43 days, dyskinesia in the lower limbs mostly disappeared and all symptoms of Parkinson's disease (tremor, rigidity, dysphagia, hallucination, anorexia, etc.) improved significantly.
