Background: Dongeuibogam (DongYiBaoGian), one of the most important books in Korean medicine, comprises a comprehensive summary of all traditional medicines of North-East Asia before the 17th century. This medicinal literature was mined to establish a list of candidate herbs to treat Parkinson-related rigidity.
Methods: A systematic search for terms describing Parkinson-related rigidity and candidate prescriptions for the treatment of Parkinson-related rigidity in the Dongeuibogam was performed. A high-frequency medicinal herb combination group and candidates for the treatment of Parkinson-related rigidity were also selected through an analysis of medicinal herb combination frequencies. The existing literature pertaining to the potential effects of candidate herbs for Parkinson-related rigidity was reviewed.
Results And Conclusions: Ten medicinal herb candidates for the treatment of Parkinson-related rigidity were selected, and their respective precedent studies were analyzed.

Article Synopsis
- A pilot study was conducted to evaluate the effects of 8-week supplementation with Pycnogenol (French maritime pine bark extract) on Parkinson's disease symptoms, including cognitive and motor functions.
- The study involved 79 participants: 39 received standard management, while 40 were supplemented with 150 mg/day of Pycnogenol, measuring various health indicators before and after the intervention.
- Results showed significant improvements in the Karnofsky performance index, reduced plasma oxidative stress, and decreased symptoms like tremors and cognitive issues in the Pycnogenol group, along with improved facial expression evaluations compared to the control group.
Background: For safety reasons, both magnetic resonance-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (MRgHiFUS) thalamotomy and pallidotomy are currently approved exclusively for unilateral treatment, but axial symptoms like levodopa-induced orofacial dyskinesia require a bilateral approach.
Objectives: We report the first case of successful bilateral MRgHiFUS pallidotomy for peak-dose dyskinesia in a patient with Parkinson's disease (PD).
Methods: The treatment decision was based on the patient's reluctance toward brain implants and pump therapies and the fact that he had limited access to a deep brain stimulation center in his home country.

Various methods of rehabilitation for dysphagia have been suggested through the experience of treating stroke patients. Although most of these patients recover their swallowing function in a short period, dysphagia in Parkinson's disease (PD) and Parkinson-related disorder (PRD) degenerates with disease progression. Muscle rigidity and bradykinesia are recognized as causes of swallowing dysfunction, and it is difficult to easily apply the strategies for stroke to the rehabilitation of dysphagia in PD patients.
