Patient's question:
Lately, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended checking with the neurology department. Could you please tell me what Parkinson's disease is called in Traditional Chinese Medicine?Doctor's answer:
Parkinson's syndrome is generally referred to as "tremor spasm" in traditional Chinese medicine. Its main clinical manifestations should be uncontrolled tremors in the limbs, especially when the patient is at rest, accompanied by difficulty walking, shuffling steps, and sometimes being unable to stop, leading to falls. Based on your description, it seems more like a form of dementia in your father rather than Parkinson's syndrome. It is recommended to seek further diagnosis at the hospital.
