Gut Microbiome Changes with Osteopathic Treatment of Constipation in Parkinson’s Disease: A Pilot Study

Biomarkers, Parkinson's Disease, Pre-PD / Rob

The gut microbiome appears to be predictive of Parkinson’s disease (PD) with constipation. Chronic constipation frequently manifests prior to motor symptoms and impairs quality of life. An osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) sequence used physical exam assessment and manual treatment of neuromusculoskeletal dysfunctions pertinent to constipation in PD for this prospective ABA-design study, IRB-NYITBHS1065. The effects […]

Acupoint Massage Therapy Alters the Composition of Gut Microbiome in Functional Constipation Patients

Biomarkers, Gut Dysbiosis, Gut Microbiota, Symptoms / Diagnosis / Rob

The 16S KEGG function prediction suggested that Parkinson disease, retinol metabolism, and arachidonic acid metabolism could explain the biological function of different gut microbiome. Furthermore, cytokines in the serum showed a correlation with the abundance of Pseudobutyrivibrio in CFC. Conclusion. AMT could change the composition of gut microbiome which is associated with cytokines in CFC patients. CLICK TO
