A nationwide retrospective cohort study of the association between acupuncture exposure and clinical outcomes of idiopathic Parkinson’s disease using health insurance claim data in South Korea
Acupuncture exposure was associated with a reduced mortality rate in patients with IPD. These findings suggest potential benefits of integrating acupuncture into IPD management, though further long-term randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm these results.
