[Professor <i>ZHUANG Lixing</i>'s experience of integrated acupuncture and medication approach to treat motor complications in Parkinson's disease based on the alternation of "movement and stillness"].
This paper introduces Professor <i>ZHUANG Lixing</i>'s experience in treating motor complications of Parkinson's disease (PD) with acupuncture combined with medication. Based on the characteristics of the alternation of "movement and stillness" in PD motor complications, Professor <i>ZHUANG</i> divides these complications into three distinct periods: "movement" stage, "stillness" stage and "alternation" stage, and proposes an integrated approach of acupuncture and medication, with staged treatment tailored to each period. The main acupoints include Jin's three needles to regulate spirit (four spirit needles, Shenting [GV 24], Yintang [GV 24<sup>+</sup>], Shenmen [HT 7], Sanyinjiao [SP 6]), along with hand tremor three needles (Hegu [LI 4], Quchi [LI 11], Dingchan), foot tremor three needles (Yinlingquan [SP 9], Yanglingquan [GB 34], Taichong [LR 3]), and <i>Du</i>'s three needles (Dazhui [GV 14], Jinsuo [GV 8], Mingmen [GV 4]). The primary medicinal formulas include <i>Lingjiao Gouteng</i> decoction, <i>Banxia Baizhu Tianma</i> decoction, <i>Bazhen</i> decoction combined with <i>Buzhong</i> <i>Yiqi</i> decoction, <i>Sini</i> decoction combined with <i>Yougui</i> pills, and <i>Xiaochaihu</i> decoction. This integrated approach effectively alleviates the motor symptom fluctuations in PD patients, helping them maintain a stable life.
