Parkinson's disease is the second most common degenerative brain disease after Alzheimer's in old age. Symptoms of Parkinson's disease are factors that reduce the quality of life in daily life, such as shaking hands, slowing behavior and cognitive function. Parkinson's disease that can slow the progression of the disease through early diagnosis. To diagnoze Parkinson's disease early, an algorithm was implemented to extract features using wav2vec and to diagnose the presence or absence of Parkinson's disease with deep learning(ANN). As a results of the experiment, the accuracy was 97.47%. It was better than the results of diagnosing Parkinson's disease using the existing neural network. The audio voice file could simply reduce the experiment process and obtain improved results.

Parkinson's disease is a common neurodegenerative disorder charaterized by distal resting tremor, rigidity, and bradykinesia, and asymmetric onset. The patient was 38-year-old man who had Parkinson's disease diagnosed and complained resting and postural tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia and so on. He was treated by oriental medicine with acupuncture, herb medication, physical therapy, kinesitherapy and Korean psychotherapy; Eejeong-byunki, Jiun-goron. After treatment the symptoms of Parkinson' disease was reduced, but the patient was deconditioned through several seizures. This result suggested that the oriental medical therapy is recommanded for Parkinson's disease. But, the relation of Parkinson's disease and seizure should be studied.

Background: Parkinson's disease is the second most common degenerative brain disease after Alzheimer's disease. This study reviewed clinical practice of acupuncture and moxibustion treatment for Parkinson's disease to assess the future direction of these treatments. Methods: The literature search used 5 Korean Internet databases. The search terms were "Parkinson's disease." and "Parkinson (Korean)." 36 papers were selected: 27 case reports, 2 respropective studies, 3 uncontrolled clinical trials, 3 randomized controlled trial, 1 non-randomized controlled trial. Results: Filiform needles were used in most of studies. Pharmacopuncture, electro-acupuncture, and auricular acupuncture therapy were also used in combination with Filiform needles. 2. The most commonly used basic acupoints for Parkinson's disease was Saamchimbeop. The most commonly used form of pharmacopuncture involved Bee-venom. Conclusion: It is expected that treatment of Parkinson's disease with a variety of acupuncture and moxibustion therapies will continue to be studied, in addition to treatments that utilize existing Filiform needle treatments in clinical practice.

There are many studies that show the association between Parkinson's disease and temporomandibular joint disorder. However, no clinical studies have yet been reported that TMJ Banlancing Therapy (TBT) can treat Parkinson's disease. In this study, the applicability of TBT for the treatment of Parkinson's disease was investigated by reviewing several studies on the factors related to Parkinson's disease and temporomandibular joint disorder and clinical studies of patients with Parkinson's disease using conventional oral appliances and exercises. In summary, it is considered that TBT has a high potential for use in the treatment of Parkinson's disease, but it is thought that prospective clinical research is needed in the future to establish objective evidence related to this.

Object : To discuss the Use of Chuna treatment in managing two patients with Parkinson's disease and/or Parkinson' syndrome Methods : This clinical study was carried out of 2 cases with confirmed by certified neurologist Parkinson's disease and/or Parkinson' syndrome. One case had been admitted from 2004.09.16 to 2004.09.24 and treated from 2004.09.26 to 2004.10.15 and the other case had been admitted from 2004.10.21 to 2004.11.06 and treated from 2004.11.08 to 2004.11.15 in the department of acupuncture and moxibustion of Ha-na oriental medical center. Results : There was significant improvement in condition of the two patients treated by Chuna treatment(upper cervical to promote CSF circulation) on Parkinson's disease or Parkinson' syndrome. Conclusion: In the case, we treated two patients of Parkinson's disease and/or Parkinson' syndrome. Chuna treatment efficiently relieved the symptoms including tremor and bradykinesia.

Background: Parkinson's disease is movement disorder due to dopaminergic deficiency. It has been noted that cognitive dysfunction also presented on Parkinson's disease patients. But, it is not clear whether such a cognitive dysfunction was a dopaminergic dysfunction or cholinergic dysfunction. Using linear and non-linear analyses, we analysed the effect of cognitive and motor symptom on EEG change. Methods: EEGs were recorded from patients with Parkinson's disease and essential tremor, and normal controls during rest. We calculated the power spectrum, correlation dimension and Lyapunov exponent by using 'Complexity'program. The power spectrum, correlation dimension, and Lyapunov exponent were compared between Parkinson's disease patients and essential tremor patients. Results: Theta power was increased in Parkinson's disease patient group. Correlation dimension was increased in Parkinson's disease patients. Positive correlation was noted between MMSE and correlation dimension, and negative correlation was noted between MMSE and Lyapunov exponent. Lyapunov exponent was decreased in Parkinson's disease patient. Conclusions: We conclude that the state of Parkinson's disease patient is characterized by increased correlation dimension and decreased Lyapunov exponent.

The purpose of this study is to compare the voice differences of persons with Idiopathic Parkinson's disease and a normal group according to five vowels. Eight persons with Idiopathic Parkinson's disease and a healthy control group of 22 were selected and every voice analyzed by MDVP. The first result showed that jitter measurements between the two group showed a significant statistical difference according to all vowels. Second, the two groups' shimmer measurements showed a significant statistical difference according to nearly all vowels. Third, jitter measurements between the five vowels were more relatively closely correlated persons with Idiopathic Parkinson's disease than the normal group. Fourth, shimmer figures between the five vowels more relatively closely correlated persons with Idiopathic Parkinson's disease than the normal group.

This review describes the overall knowledges of parkinson's disease. There are involved the causes. chemical characteristics, clinical features including tremor. bradykinesia, and rigidity. evaluation of movement disorders. and physical therapy of parkinson's disease. People who are diagnosed with parkinson's disease experience movement disorders that, if not managed, can lead to considerable disability. Before treated with parkinson's disease, it is important to recognise the pathogenesis of that. Then we need to develop physiotherapeutic programs based on the pathophysiology of parkinson's disease.

Purpose: This study was done to explore the lived experiences in older Korean women with early stage of Parkinson's disease. The research question was "What is the meaning and nature of the older women's experiences who were diagnosed with Parkinson's disease?" Methods: In this study, we adopted van Manen's hermeneutic phenomenological approach to find the lived experiences of older women diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Six older women diagnosed with Parkinson's disease within five years participated, and data were collected through in-depth interviews. Results: Five fundamental lifeworld themes and seven subthemes emerged from the data. The first theme of corporeality had three subthemes: 'being shocked by an unexpected diagnosis', 'fewer things can be done due to the illness' and 'lost my prettiness'. The second theme representing relationality was 'hiding the illness because of others' whispering'. The temporality theme was 'fear of symptom aggravation'. The spatiality theme was 'being placed in a blind spot of information'. The last existential theme of material had 'obsession with drugs'. Conclusion: The results of this study provide an in-depth understanding of older womens experiences of living with Parkinson's disease. The findings can help develop interventions specific to these group of women to provide sufficient emotional support and accurate information.
