Description
Paralysis agitans was first documented in 1817 by James Parkinson, and therefore the syndrome was named Parkinson’s disease (PD). In fact, as early as more than 2000 years ago, the clinical manifestations of this disease have been described in Chinese medicine classics, such as the ‘‘Huangdi Neijing (Yellow Emperor’s Internal Classic)’’ and ‘‘Zhong Zang Jing (Hua’s Zhong Zang Classic).’’ In recent years, especially in the past 30 years after reform and opening-up, PD has drawn a lot of attention by Chinese scholars. Although great progress in the studies of PD has been made in recent years, the gap between China and western countries still exists. In this review, we concentrate on the main progress made in epidemic characteristics, etiology, diagnosis and management of PD in China
