Abstract

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) may have potential benefits for patients with Parkinson's disease.

  • Parkinson's disease is associated with gut-brain axis dysfunction.
  • FMT is a microbiome-targeted intervention that could impact PD outcomes.
  • Preliminary clinical evidence suggests potential effects of FMT on motor, non-motor, and cognitive functions.
  • Randomized clinical evidence on the effectiveness of FMT in PD remains limited.
