Methods： thirty cases of the patients, most of whom were noticed with the decreased therapeutic effect and drug-induced complications, were treated by puncturing Shuigou （GV 26） and Baihui （GV 20）, by reduction of Madopa dose, and the patients＇ conditions and complications were evaluated six months later. Results：After treatments for six months, the physiological functions were improved and the dose of Madopa was reduced and the total effective rate was 66.7%. Conclusion： After acupuncture treatments in PD patients, the therapeutic effects of levodopa were enhanced, with its dose and complications reduced.展开更多
