Lower LEDD and Polypharmacy Rates Beyond the Honeymoon Period in Patients With Parkinson’s Disease Integrative Western–Korean Medicine Interventions: A CARE‐Compliant Case Series
These findings suggest that integrative treatment may contribute to lowering LEDD and medication counts in patients with PD, which could potentially reduce hospitalization rates and the associated social costs. Further prospective studies comparing the integrative and nonintegrative treatment groups are needed to clarify these findings and evaluate the role of integrative treatment in the long-term management of PD.
