The search terms were “Parkinson’s disease.” and “Parkinson (Korean).” 36 papers were selected: 27 case reports, 2 respropective studies, 3 uncontrolled clinical trials, 3 randomized controlled trial, 1 non-randomized controlled trial.
Results: Filiform needles were used in most of studies. Pharmacopuncture, electro-acupuncture, and auricular acupuncture therapy were also used in combination with Filiform needles. 2. The most commonly used basic acupoints for Parkinson’s disease was Saamchimbeop. The most commonly used form of pharmacopuncture involved Bee-venom.
