我们使用正电子发射断层扫描（PET）和18-氟脱氧葡萄糖示踪剂研究帕金森氏病的脑效应互补针刺。5例患者接受了头针和美多巴，而其他5例仅接受美多巴。PET扫描前和5周后的补充针灸治疗显示，增加葡萄糖代谢的顶叶，颞叶，枕叶，丘脑和小脑在轻病半球，在顶叶和枕叶的重症半球。单用美多巴组未观察到变化。针刺联合美多巴治疗帕金森病可改善脑葡萄糖代谢。
We used positron emission tomography (PET) and the 18-flourodeoxyglucose tracer to study cerebral effects of complementary acupuncture in Parkinson's disease. Five patients received scalp-acupuncture and Madopa, while the other five had Madopa only. PET scans before and after 5 weeks of complementary acupuncture treatment show increased glucose metabolisms in parietal, temporal, occipital lobes, the thalamus, and the cerebellum in the light-diseased hemisphere, and in parietal and occipital lobes of the severe-diseased hemisphere. No changes were observed in the Madopa-only group. Acupuncture in combination with Madopa may improve cerebral glucose metabolism in Parkinson's disease.
