In each group, 10 cases were treated with electroacupuncture in the control group. The clinical effects of the two groups were compared. Results: After treatment, the Wechsler comprehensive assessment scale, Barthel index and UPDRS III score of the observation group were significantly higher than the control group (p <0.05). The total effective rate was 90% in the observation group and 60% in the control group. There was significant difference in the total effective rate between the two groups (p <0.05). Conclusion: Treatment of Parkinson's disease with electroacupuncture combined with rehabilitation is effective and can improve the clinical symptoms and quality of life of patients
