Exploring Mechanism of Acupuncture and Moxibustion in Treatment of PD Based on Brain-Gut Axis Theory
Parkinson's disease(PD)is a common neurodegenerative disorder,and its diagnosis and treatment have been key research topics in the academic community.In recent years,the brain-gut axis has been proven to be closely related to the onset and progression of PD.Acupuncture and moxibustion,as non-pharmacological treatments,has been shown to improve both motor and non-motor symptoms in PD patients to some extent.This study,through exploring the effects of the brain-gut axis on PD and the mechanisms of acupuncture and moxibustion in PD treatment,reveals that acupuncture and moxibustion can influence the brain-gut axis by regulating gut mocrobiota,the vagus nerve,the neuro-endocrine system,and the neuro-immune system,which in turn helps alleviate PD symptoms and slow the progression of the disease.Therefore,acupuncture and moxibustion's modulation of the brain-gut axis may offer new insights into the prevention and treatment of PD.
