Objective To study TCM syndrome elements and their distribution law of parkinson disease (PD). Methods The Table of TCM Clinical Information of PD Patients based on the main symptoms and TCM syndromes of 100 PD patients was designed according to the standardization terms. It mainly included the general information
history of disease
clinical manifestations
diagnosis
etc. Seventy-four symptoms were screened out for sample clustering analysis. Results Thirteen common symptoms of PD were generalized
i.e. tremor of hands and feet
contraction of limbs
numbness of limbs
dull facial expressions
retarded speech
slow movement
clumsy movement
unsteady walking
festinating gait
predisposed to pain
head shaking
stiff neck
head and chest bending forward. Of the syndrome elements
blood stasis and wind were mostly common in the tremor type
while blood stasis and yang deficiency were mostly common in the non-tremor type. Of the location elements
liver and kidney are mainly involved
and then spleen. In the syndrome classification
the four syndromes such as kidney yang deficiency with blood stasis in the interior
liver and kidney yin deficiency with blood stasis and wind-stirring
both qi and blood deficiency
phlegm heat with blood stasis and wind-stirring were common. Conclusion PD owns a Ben-root deficiency
with wind and blood stasis in the whole process of disease
cold
yang deficiency
yin deficiency
qi deficiency
and blood deficiency occupying larger and larger percentage in the development of disease; with liver and kidney involved in the whole process of disease
heart and spleen occupying larger and larger percentage in the development of disease.
