The treatment of Parkinson’s disease is comprehensive, where pharmacotherapy is the core method, supplemented by surgical treatments. Additionally, physical rehabilitation and psychotherapy can also be performed. For Parkinson's patients, acupuncture is an option. Since elderly Parkinson's patients may suffer from other illnesses, acupuncture can help alleviate symptoms of these additional ailments. If patients wish to use acupuncture to improve symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, it is feasible. However, it cannot cure the disease or solve the fundamental problem; it can only alleviate symptoms and enhance the quality of life.
