    Journal: Zhongguo Zhen Jiu; 2005 Sep; 25(9):610-2. PubMed ID: 16318144.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To observe clinical therapeutic effect of herbs-partitioned moxibustion at Shenque (CV 8) on Parkinson disease. METHODS: Ninety cases of Parkinson disease were randomly divided into a treatment group (n=4) and a control group (n=36) in order of visiting. The two groups were treated with routine western medicine for treatment of Parkinson disease, and herbs-partitioned moxibustion at Shenque (CV 8) was added to the treatment group. Their comprehensive therapeutic effects were observed and modified UPDRS cumulative scores were compared. RESULTS: The total effective rate was 83.3% in the treatment group, significantly better than 58.3% in the control group (P < 0.01); the modified UPDRS cumulative score was reduced by 74.1% in the treatment group, significantly better than 16.7% in the control group (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: Herbs-partitioned moxibustion at Shenque (CV 8) has a certain therapeutic effect on Parkinson disease.
