Objective
Combinations of Chinese herbal products (CHPs) are widely used for Parkinson’s disease (PD) in Taiwan. Thereby, we investigated the use of CHPs in patients with PD.
Conclusions
Chaihu-Jia-Longgu-Muli-Tang and U. tomentosa (Willd. ex Schult.) DC. are the most commonly used CHPs for PD in Taiwan. Our results revealed the preferences in medication prescriptions for PD.
