针灸治疗帕金森病非运动症状的临床研究

Clinical Study on Acupuncture Treatment for Parkinson's Non-motor Symptoms

帕金森病(Parkinson Disease,PD)是一种由?-突触核蛋白病变导致的神经退化疾病,全球约八百万的患者深受影响,表现为一系列进行性的运动与非运动症状。现随着对PD的认知逐步加深,静止性震颤为主的运动症状并不是PD唯一表现,许多非运动症状如自主神经症状、精神症状、感觉异常等也是PD重要的临床表现。并且可以早于非运动症状出现,非运动症状对患者生活的影响往往不亚于运动症状,其复杂多变的临床症候群远比运动症状要复杂得多,其临床治疗也更加棘手,而传统的抗PD药物如左旋多巴等往往收效甚微。目前临床研究中,针灸治疗PD非运动症状上有一定的效果,这对于扩展治疗PD的途径有很大的帮助。

Parkinson disease （PD） is a neurodegenerative disorder resulting from alpha-synuclein lesions, which affects about eight million patients over the world. PD is manifested in progressive motor and non-motor symptoms. With understanding of PD gradually deepened, motor symptoms mainly manifested in resting tremor are not the only manifestations of PD. Clinically many non-motor symptoms such as autonomic nervous symptoms, mental symptoms and paresthesia are also the important manifestations of PD and can appear earlier than motor symptoms. The effect of the non-motor symptoms on the patients’ life is often not less than that of the motor symptoms. Clinically the changeable non-motor symptoms are far more complex and more difficult to treat than the motor symptoms. Conventional anti-PD drugs such as levodopa have little effect on the non-motor symptoms. Present clinical studies have showed that acupuncture has a certain therapeutic effect on the non-motor symptoms of PD. This provides important help for expanding the way to treat PD.
