  • Parkinson's disease(PD) is one of the three major senile diseases and the incidence rate is increasing worldwide as the population ages. And as the disease progresses, time and economic costs increase, so it is important to understand the progress of the disease and to diagnose it early In this paper, we propose a method for pre-screening Parkinson's disease using a smartphone. The contents of the developed application are composed of tapping, tremor, spiral drawing, and gait based on Part III of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale. This can be used to quantitatively diagnose Bradykinesia, Tremor and Postural Instability, which are known as motility symptoms of Parkinson's disease, and to monitor the progress of symptoms. This method is expected to be useful for the diagnosis and treatment of Parkinson's disease.

  • Introduction : This study was designed to evaluate the effect of acupuncture on Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) of patients with Parkinson's disease Methods: Subjects were voluntarily recruited through newspaper and internet advertisement. All the subjects were confirmed as idiopathic parkinson's disease by a neurologist. Acupuncture was applied 2 times a week for four weeks by oriental medical doctor at Kyung-hee University hospital. Acupuncture points used were GB34 and LR3. The patient's symptoms were assessed before and after 4 weeks of treatment by UPDRS and HRV. HRV was measured for 5 minutes before and after 4 weeks of treatment. Results : The results were as follows; 1. In both groups, UPDRS scores were significantly improved after 4 weeks compared to the pre-treatment 2. After 4 weeks of treatment UPDRS score differences between the two groups were insignificant 3. After 4 weeks of treatment HRV parameter scores showed statistically insignificant differences between the two groups. SDNN parameters of the Experimental group were significantly increased. Conclusion : This study suggests that acupuncture treatments can be applicable to improve symptoms in the patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease. Further study on the acupuncture and HRV in the patients with Parkinson's disease is recommended.

  • Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease, where treatment with medication may lead to gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms. The objective of this case study was to investigate the effectiveness of Korean medicine (KM) in treating PD with drug-induced GI dysfunction. A 70-year-old female participant was diagnosed with PD in 2010 and drug-induced gastritis in 2016. Her major symptoms were related to GI, PD, and overall feeling of weakness. She was treated with KM including pharmacopuncture, acupuncture, moxibustion, and herbal medicines, in combination with Western medicines during 46 days of in-patient care. This study showed an improvement in symptoms and scores on the GI symptom scale, Unified Parkinson's disease rating scale, Hoehn and Yahr staging, Berg balance scale, PD quality of life, and stress index at discharge. This case demonstrated that the symptoms of drug-induced GI dysfunctions in PD was improved by treatment with KM.

  • Parkinson's disease is one of the typical neurodegenerative disease and it is caused by the destruction of substantia nigra in brain leading to lack of dopamine secretion, and it presents 4 major motor symptoms such as tremor, bradykinesia, stiffness, postural instability. Furthermore, it causes many non-motor symptoms such as anosmia, REM sleep conduct disorder, orthostatic hypotension, dementia and autonomic ataxia such as lack of adjusting blood pressure, hyperhydrosis, constipation. Dopaminergic therapy is the most commonly used strategy, but long term treatment of levodopa induce various adverse effects. Thus, many people are focusing on new therapies other than established therapies, and there are many tries and approaches with paradigm shift. Our medical team was able to get 4 cases of PD patients who are hospitalized in our hospital, treated by Whole Body Gi-Hyeol Therapy consisting of acupuncture therapy, herbal therapy, and mental therapy, and their conditions improved in perspective of Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale(UPDRS), Heart Rate Variability(HRV), and Quality of life. Among all 4 cases, UPDRS score and quality of life score is gotton better, and among 2 cases SDNN, RMS-SD, TP, LF, HF scores are finely increased. And PDQ-39 score which shows quality of life is also improved. However, in spite of these improvements and positive results, there were no meaningful improvement in a hurt from a fall which is important to the aged, muscular atrophy which causes bone fracture and SMI(Skeletal Muscle Mass Index) which is indicator of osteoporosis. Thus, supplementary treatment about Whole Body Gi-Hyeol Therapy such as more active nutrition intervention, safe and effective kinesitherapy is needed, and from now on continuous case reports and systematic clinical research which has control group must be carried out.
