Electroacupuncture therapy on non-motor symptoms of patients with Parkinson's disease: results of a pilot study.
Objective: This study aims to assess the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients as a primary goal and motor symptomatology as a secondary outcome. Methods: Twenty-five patients were enrolled in a non-controlled pilot study that involved a 10-sess...

Methods: Twenty-five patients were enrolled in a non-controlled pilot study that involved a 10-session EA intervention in 16 acupoints, applied 3 times a week for 4 weeks. Motor, non-motor, cognitive, and quality of life evaluation were conducted before intervention and 7 days after concluding the last EA session through MDS-Unified PD rating scale (MDS-UPDRS), Non-motor Symptom Scale (NMSS), montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA), and PD questionnaire (PDQ-8), respectively. Results: Patients showed significantly lower scores in the MDS-UPDRS Part II (7.0 ± 5.7 vs. 10.5 ± 7.6, p = 0.046) and Part III (14.0 ± 8.6 vs. 23.1 ± 13.9, p = 0.002), and NMSS total score (35.2 ± 26.6 vs. 54.6 ± 32.5, p = 0.004) in the post-intervention evaluation, with mood/cognition domain of the NMSS being the only significantly affected by treatment. MoCA total score increased after the intervention (24.2 ± 4.5 vs. 21.6 ± 4.3, p = 0.020), while PDQ-8 scores were not significantly affected by the intervention. Conclusions: Non-motor and motor symptomatology were significantly improved after concluding a 10-session EA therapy. Mood and cognitive disorders were the most positively affected by the intervention. Evaluation of the long-term effects of EA in PD is further needed. Objetivos: Evaluar el efecto de la electroacupuntura (EA) sobre los síntomas no motores en pacientes con Enfermedad de Parkinson como objetivo principal y la sintomatología motora como resultado secundario. Métodos: Se incluyeron 25 pacientes en un estudio piloto no controlado cuya intervención implicó 10 sesiones de EA en 16 acupuntos, aplicada 3 veces por semana durante 4 semanas. Se realizó una evaluación motora, no motora, cognitiva y de calidad de vida antes de la intervención y siete días después de concluir la última sesión de EA mediante la escala unificada de la enfermedad de Parkinson modificada por la Sociedad de Trastornos del Movimiento (MDS-UPDRS), la escala de síntomas no motores (NMSS), Test Cognitivo de Montreal (MoCA) y cuestionario sobre la enfermedad de Parkinson 8 (PDQ-8), respectivamente. Resultados: En la evaluación posterior a la intervención, los pacientes mostraron scores significativamente menores en la Parte II (7.0 ± 5.7 vs. 10.5 ± 7.6, p = 0.046) y la Parte III (14.0 ± 8.6 vs. 23.1 ± 13.9, p = 0.002) de la MDS-UPDRS y en el score total del NMSS (35.2 ± 26.6 vs. 54.6 ± 32.5, p = 0.004), siendo el dominio del estado de ánimo/cognición del NMSS el único afectado significativamente. El score total del MoCA aumentó después de la intervención (24.2 ± 4.5 vs. 21.6 ± 4.3, p = 0.020), mientras que los scores del PDQ-8 no se vieron afectados significativamente. Conclusiones: La sintomatología motora y no motora mejoró significativamente después de concluir una terapia de EA de 10 sesiones. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Revista Mexicana de Neurociencia is the property of Academia Mexicana de Neurologia and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
