Through many years ofclinical experience, exploration and research in conjunction with the various advantages of differ-ent styles and sects of scalp acupuncture needling methods, a unique method of scalp acupuncturehas been developed. This method combines the modern medical theory and the traditional Chinesemedical theory. The region of head is divided into seven treatment areas: Shenting region (GV24), Touwei region (ST 8), Shuaigu region (GB 8), Baihui region (GV 2O), Qiangjian region(GV 18), Xinhui region (GV 22), Wangu region (GB 12). The manipulation is developed andcreated according to the Collection of Acupuncture and Moxibustion, Chouqi and Jinqi methods.In the process of the insertion of the needles, this method requires the cooperation of rapid andslow breathing by lifting, following and opposing the meridian course, including active and pas-sive展开更多

Methods： Two independent reviewers extracted data from all of the randomized clinical trials （RCTs） that assessed the efficacy of SA for PD compared with conventional therapies （CTs）. Sixteen electronic databases were searched. The risk of bias was appraised with the Cochrane Collaboration tool, and the reporting of the included studies was evaluated by the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials （CONSORT） 2010 checklist and the revised Standards for Reporting Interventions in Clinical Trials of Acupuncture （STRICTA） guidelines. Results： In total, 4 RCTs met the inclusion criteria. As assessed by the Unified PD Rating Scale （UPDRS）, 2 RCTs showed that SA combined with CTs proved superior to CTs alone [60 cases; weighted mean difference, -3.94; 95% confidence interval （CI）, -6.05 to -1.64, P=0.01; 12=0%]. Based on the Webster scale, however, 3 RCTs showed no superior effect of SA when combined with CTs with high heterogeneity （154 cases; risk ratio, 1.29; 95% CI, 0.79 to 2.12, P=0.30; 12=84%）. The Cochrane risk of bias, adherence to the CONSORT and the STRICTA checklist showed that the quality of all the included RCTs was generally low. Conclusions： The result of our systematic review and meta-analysis suggested that the effectiveness of SA for PD is promising, however, the evidence is not convincing. A sham-controlled RCT design that adheres to the CONSORT and STRICTA guidelines to overcome methodological weakness and that includes a large sample size is strongly recommended to confirm the precise effect of SA on PD.展开更多

文摘Objective:To observe the therapeutic effect of combined scalp and body acupuncture on the motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease(PD),and on the score of levodopa equivalent dose(LED).Methods:This is a randomized,single blind trial.Sixty-six patients with PD were randomized into an acupuncture+medication group(33 patients)and a medication group(33 patients).The patients were aware of allocation and the assessors were blinded to group assignment and therapeutic regimen.AntiPD drugs were administered in both groups.In the acupuncture+medication group,scalp and body acupuncture therapy was added.Treatments were applied for 8 weeks.In scalp acupuncture,the anterior oblique line of the vertex-temporal(MS6),lateral line 1 of the vertex(MS8),lateral line 2 of the vertex(MS9),and lower-lateral line of the occiput(MS14)were selected.In the body acupuncture,the acupoints included Bǎihuì(百会GV20),Sìshéncōng(四神聪EX-HN1),and Dàzhuī(大椎GV14),as well as the bilateral Fēngchí(风池GB20),Nèiguān(内关PC6),Hégǔ(合谷LI4),Gānshū(肝俞BL18),Shènshū(肾俞BL23),Yánglíngquán(阳陵泉GB34),Zúsānlǐ(足三里ST36),Fēnglóng(丰隆ST40),Sānyīnjiāo(三阴交SP6),Tàixī(太溪KI3),and Tàichōng(太冲LR3).Before and after treatments,the unified Parkinson’s disease rating scale(UPDRS),3section of the UPDRS(UPDRS-Ⅲ),and motor dysfunction rating scale for Parkinson’s disease(MDRSPD)were scored in the patients.The therapeutic effect of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)and LED score were compared between both groups.Results:Thirty-three cases were included in data analysis in each group.After treatment,UPDRS scores were(28.77±8.85)and(36.58±10.16)points,UPDRS-Ⅲscores were(12.16±1.97)and(17.47±2.93)points and MDRSPD scores were(15.56±3.31)and(19.13±4.87)points in the acupuncture+medication and medication groups respectively.The UPDRS,UPDRS-Ⅲ,and MDRSPD scores all reduced after treatments in both groups(all P<0.05).All three scores were lower in the acupuncture+medication group than in the medication group(all P<0.05).When examining the therapeutic effects of TCM,the total effective rate was 87.88%in the acupuncture+medication group and 75.76%in the medication group(P<0.05).After treatment,the LED scores were(387.55±146.24)points and(437.42±183.16)points in the acupuncture+medication and medication groups,respectively.The LED dose differences before and after treatment for the acupuncture+medication and medication groups were(40.36±16.33)points and(95.88±35.79)points,respectively.The LED scores in both groups were higher than the pre-treatment scores(P<0.05).However,the post-treatment LED score was lower in the acupuncture+medication group than in the medication group(P<0.05),as was the dose difference before and after treatment(P<0.05).No relevant adverse reaction was found in each group.Conclusion:In addition to anti-PD medication,the scalp and body acupuncture may effectively relieve the motor symptoms of PD and improve the control of LED score.
