ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe clinical therapeutic effect of head point-through-point electroacupuncture on Parkinson's disease and the mechanism.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Seventy-six cases of Parkinson's disease were randomly divided into a treatment group (n=37) treated with head point-through-point electroacupuncture and oral administration of madopa, and a control group (n=39) with only oral administration of madopa. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and lipids peroxides (LPO) were determined before and after treatment.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The effective rate was 97.3% in the treatment group and 61.5% in the control group with a very significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.01). SOD activity and LPO content were significantly improved after treatment in the treatment group (P < 0.01), with a significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Head point-through-point electroacupuncture can improve SOD activity and LPO content in the body so as to cure Parkinson's disease.</p>
