Objective To explore the effects of tonifying kidney and benefiting marrow method on non-motor symptoms of Parkinson’ s disease with kidney deficiency and marrow reduction. Methods A total of 60 patients with Parkinson’s disease with kidney deficiency and marrow reduction were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group. Both groups were treated based on the western medicine of anti-Parkinson’ s disease
and the treatment group was added with the recipe of tonifying kidney and benefiting marrow method for 3 months. The Parkinson disease sleep scale( PDSS)
fatigue scale
Epworth somnolence scale
and constipation scale were scored before treatment
1 and 3 months after treatment. The Montreal cognitive assessment scale( MoCA) was used to explore the clinical effects. Results After 3 months’ treatment
the total effective rate was 90. 00% in the treatment group
and 66. 67% in the control group
the treatment group significantly higher than the control group( P < 0. 05). After 3 months’ treatment
scores of the PDSS
fatigue scale
Epworth somnolence scale
and constipation scale of the treatment group were lower than before treatment
and lower than the control group at the same time( P < 0. 05). There was no difference in the MoCA score of the 2 groups before and after treatment( P > 0. 05). Conclusion Tonifying kidney and benefiting marrow method is effective in improving the non-motor symptoms of Parkinson’ s disease with kidney deficiency and marrow reduction
