Acupuncture: Aucupuncture has been reported to help relieve symptoms of some neurological disorders including cerebral palsy, hemiplegia (full or partial paralysis of one side of the body due to disease, trauma or stroke), Parkinson's disease (characterized by fine muscle coordination and tremors), spinal cord injury, Tourette's syndrome (characterized by "tics"), and trigeminal neuralgia. One study found that parents were impressed with acupuncture therapy on functional well-being in Huntington's disease in children. There is insufficient evidence available from well-designed studies on the use of acupuncture in neurological disorders such as Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome. More trials need to be performed.Natural Standard Monograph, Copyright © 2008 (www.naturalstandard.com).
