Abstract

Parkinson's disease is a chronic neurodegenerative disease, which is prone to occur in the middle-aged and elderly. With the progression of the disease, multiple systems can be affected, and eventually the patient becomes disabled. This not only seriously affects the patient's work and life, but also brings a heavy burden to society and family. Although Parkinson's disease is characterized by incurability and high disability, it has a long course and slow progression with strong clinical intervention. Based on this, the reasonable, effective and long-term diagnosis and treatment of Parkinson's disease are put forward higher requirements. We cannot deny that western medicine plays a pivotal role in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. However, with the aggravation of motor symptoms and non-motor symptoms as well as the emergence of adverse drug reactions and motor complications, the limitations of western medicine in the diagnosis and treatment of Parkinson's disease have become increasingly prominent. A large number of clinical studies have shown that traditional Chinese medicine has significant advantages in the treatment of Parkinson's disease, especially in the early stage of Parkinson's disease and the improvement of non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Therefore, the treatment of Parkinson's disease with traditional Chinese medicine should not only become a beneficial attempt in its clinical research and diagnosis, but also become a routine process in the diagnosis and treatment of Parkinson's disease. Integrative Chinese and Western medicine can complement each other, improve the curative effect, reduce the side effects of western medicine, and effectively control the motor and non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
