The purpose of the study is to explore the possibility of Korean medicine treatment on back pain of Parkinson’s disease patient through a case study. A Parkinson’s disease patient suffering from back pain and both limbs pain was hospitalized and treated with acupuncture and traditional medicine.

As a result, back pain NRS, lower limbs pain NRS, ODI, EQ-5D, UPDRS turned out to be greatly improved from 9 to 3, 5 to 2, 80 to 64, −0.014 to 0.513, 122 to 37, respectively.
