Introduction and Purpose. Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder caused by dopamine deficiency due to neuronal degeneration, leading to motor and non-motor symptoms. Gastrointestinal symptoms are common and often precede motor symptoms. There is increasing evidence that imbalanced gut microbiota may influence the gut-brain axis and contribute to motor and non-motor PD symptoms. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) may have the potential to restore gut flora and improve PD symptoms. The study aims to explore the current knowledge on the impact of FMT on PD symptoms, acknowledging existing reviews and highlighting new studies not yet reviewed. Understanding the underlying causes of PD could lead to better treatment, diagnostics, and prevention. State of knowledge. PD patients suffer from specific gut dysbiosis which leads to imbalance in the produced pro- and anti-inflammatory substances in the intestinal lumen resulting in aggreviation of α-synuclein in gut nervous cells which may hypothetically transfer via vagal nerve to CNS causing PD. In animal research FMT showed promising results in alleviating PD symptoms. Case reports showed reduction of both motor and non-motor dysfunctions, especially in constipation. DuPont et al. showed improvements in constipation, motor deficits, overall Parkinson’s symptoms, and some non-motor disorders. Cheng et al. showed improvements in MDS-UPDRS, scores of GI tract symptoms scales, PD-related autonomic symptoms and the stool frequency. Bruggeman et al. showed better MDS-UPDRS part 3 scores and better colon transit, but no significant differencies in any other tested domains. Conclusions. As there is yet no standarized protocol for FMT, all of the past research used different techniques and showed slightly different outcomes, but all have shown that FMT have some positive effects on PD symptoms. |
