Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine significant improvement of motor and non-motor symptoms after treatment with Sasang constitutional medicine treatment on a Soyangin patient with early-stage Parkinson’s disease.
Methods : The patient was treated with Soyangin’s constitutional medications (herb and acupuncture) and scalp acupuncture. The progress was evaluated using the Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) before and after treatment. The UPDRS was used to assess the overall function of patient.
Results : We observed a significant improvement in patient’s motor and non-motor symptoms using UPDRS. The UPDRS score decreased in PartⅠ, PartⅡ, and PartⅢ.
Conclusions: This study shows that Sasang constitutional medicine can be effective treatment for Soyangin patient with early-stage Parkinson’s disease.
