Abstract

Objectives : In order to find Sasang constitutional therapies on Parkinson's disease and to make a fundamental basis for clinical application, this study was performed. Methods : We recruit thirty five person as the disease group and we test them by QSCCII. also, We estimate them by UPDRS scale. Results : In the distribution of sasang constitution among parkinson's disease patients and controls, we can know that in the distribution of sasang constitution among parkinson's disease patients, Taeumin has a large division. but we don't find out significantly difference statistically. In the distribution of UPDRS Std. score of sasang constitution, we find out significantly difference statistically. Conclusion : Unfortunately, we fail to lead significantly difference statistically in the sasang constitution among parkinson's disease patients and controls. But, in the distribution of UPDRS Std. score of sasang constitution, we fine out significantly difference statistically. Consequencely, it is necessary that further study on the theme in the more sample.
