The goal of this clinical trial is to explore raise-bed training Orthostatic Hypotension in Parkinson's Patients. The main question it aims to answer is: Can raise-bed training improve Orthostatic Hypotension in Parkinson's Patients. Patients will be randomly allocated into the control group or the experimental group, all under rehabilitation treatment, the experimental group will be given raise-bed training. The study lasts 21 days for each patient. Researchers will compare Orthostatic Hypotension Questionnaire, Orthostatic Grading Scale, Composite Autonomic Symptom Scale 31 to see if raise-bed training can help improve the symptom.

Basic treatment, including corresponding control of risk factors and education on healthy lifestyles. Swallowing training, including lemon ice stimulation, mendelson maneuver, empty swallowing training, and pronunciation training. Pulmonary function training, including standing training, cough training, and diaphragm muscle training.
gradually elevating the bed (head-up tilt) is one of the common methods to treat orthostatic hypotension. This treatment adjusts the patient's bed angle to gradually raise their body, promoting balanced blood distribution throughout the body and reducing orthostatic hypotension symptoms. In head-up tilt treatment, the bed angle is usually gradually increased from a horizontal position, and the specific angle can be determined based on the patient's condition and tolerance. This treatment process is generally monitored and controlled by medical personnel to ensure safety and effectiveness. The mechanism of head-up tilt treatment is to increase venous return by changing the body position and increasing the effect of gravity, thereby increasing cardiac preload, output, and blood pressure. This helps to reduce orthostatic hypotension symptoms such as dizziness, lightheadedness, and fatigue.

RECRUITINGComposite Autonomic Symptom Scale 31
The scale has a total score range of 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating a higher symptom burden. In this case, a higher score suggests a greater presence of autonomic symptoms, including orthostatic hypotension.
Time frame: day 1 and day 21
Orthostatic Hypotension Questionnaire
The Orthostatic Hypotension Questionnaire score ranges 0 to 100 Higher scores on the Orthostatic Hypotension Questionnaire indicate more severe symptoms and a greater impact on quality of life.
Time frame: day 1 and day 21
Orthostatic Grading Scale
The Orthostatic Grading Scale is typically graded from 0 to 3, with 0 representing no orthostatic hypotension symptoms and 3 representing severe symptoms. In this case, a lower score on the Orthostatic Grading Scale indicates less severe orthostatic hypotension.
Time frame: day 1 and day 21
