Non-Oral Drug Delivery in Parkinson's Disease: Current Applications and Future

Meliha Gunes et al.

Summary: Parkinson's disease is a chronic and progressive movement disorder that affects daily activities. Treatment strategies for early and advanced stages of PD focus on non-oral drug delivery systems due to GI problems causing motor fluctuations. Oral levodopa is the gold standard medication for controlling motor symptoms.

Gastrointestinal Dysfunction in Parkinson's Disease

Delaram Safarpour et al.

Summary: There has been exponential growth in the understanding of gastrointestinal dysfunction in Parkinson's disease over the past few decades. The clinical features of GI dysfunction in PD have been identified and research has shown pathological changes in the enteric nervous system of PD patients. This theory has sparked intense study and scrutiny, as it is believed that the GI system may be a key factor in the development and progression of PD.

The Gut-Brain Axis: Two Ways Signaling in Parkinson's Disease

Nitu Dogra et al.

Summary: Parkinson's disease is a chronic and progressive neurological disorder involving the motor system, with its pathogenesis closely related to the gut microbiome and the gut-brain axis, which may influence the disease progression through various mechanisms. Understanding the interaction between the gut-brain axis, gut microbiota, and Parkinson's disease is crucial for the development of novel therapeutic and diagnostic approaches.

Effectiveness and safety of acupuncture for treating functional constipation: An overview of systematic reviews

Jun-peng Yao et al.

Summary: This overview evaluated and summarized clinical evidence on the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture for treating functional constipation (FC). The results suggest that acupuncture may be more effective than sham acupuncture and anti-constipation drugs in improving bowel movements and quality of life. However, the current studies have limitations and inconsistent evidence, calling for more rigorous and methodologically sound systematic reviews to draw definitive conclusions.

Targeting gut-brain axis through scalp-abdominal electroacupuncture in Parkinson's disease

Leyla Nazarova et al.

Summary: The study suggests that targeting the gut-brain axis through electroacupuncture in early stages of Parkinson's disease may be an effective therapeutic option for managing both non-motor and motor symptoms. The results showed improvement in various clinical scales and significant alterations in gut bacterial composition after the treatment.

Study on the characteristics of intestinal motility of constipation in patients with Parkinson's disease

Mei Zhang et al.

Summary: Constipation is a significant nonmotor symptom in Parkinson's disease patients, with different severities closely related to the disease's pathogenesis. Understanding the colonic motility characteristics and constipation classification of PD patients with constipation (PDC) is essential for guiding treatment. This study found differences in colonic motility and rectal anal canal pressure between PDC patients and those with functional constipation.

Effect of Acupuncture on Movement Function in Patients with Parkinson's Disease: Network Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Miri Kwon et al.

Summary: This study compared the effectiveness of different acupuncture modalities on motor function in Parkinson's disease patients through network meta-analysis. It found that bee venom acupuncture showed the most significant improvement compared to conventional medication, with electroacupuncture, manual acupuncture, and sham acupuncture also showing effectiveness. Further research with more rigorous randomized controlled trials is needed due to the limited number of included studies.
