This article reports, after a brief overview of the etiopathogenesis and treat- ment of Parkinson's disease in western medicine, some of the most important literature evidence on the effectiveness of acupuncture treatment in this area. It is documented in the literature that in this context many Parkinson's patients turn to complementary medicines in order to obtain symptomatic improvements and to contain the adverse effects of Western pharmacotherapy. The article also deals with the classification of Parkinson's disease in Traditional Chinese Medicine and with the possible therapeutic approaches.
