Abstract
Based on the "brain-mind theory" of traditional Chinese medicine, the dysfunction of brain mind is the mechanism of the Parkinson's disease in pathogenesis. In modern medicine, the brain-gut axis theory believes that the impairment of intestinal flora is of the reciprocal causation with the cerebral pathological changes in Parkinson's disease. Hence, the theory of xingnao tiaochang (regaining consciousness and regulating intestine) is proposed in combination of the dysfunction of brain mind with the brain-gut axis, based on which, the treating principle and method are determined for regulating the brain and intestine. Separately, in view of traditional Chinese medicine and modern medicine, the treating principle and method of xingnao tiaochang were discussed, as well as the rationality of acupuncture and acupoint selection under its guidance so as to provide a more extensive approach to the clinical treatment of Parkinson's disease.
