Synbiotic add-on for people with Parkinson’s disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding a synbiotic (a mix of probiotics and prebiotics) along with standard Parkinson’s medicines can improve symptoms or health outcomes. It’s mainly for adults with Parkinson’s disease at earlier to mid-stages who take dopamine replacement therapy.

This Phase 2 study tests whether taking probiotics can improve depression and mood symptoms in people with Parkinson’s disease. It’s meant for those with mild to moderate depression and stable Parkinson’s and mood treatments.
This study tests whether a special blend of probiotics (good bacteria), an amino acid called tryptophan, and branched-chain amino acids can help slow the progression of early-stage Parkinson's disease. The idea is that these supplements may work through your gut bacteria to help protect your brain.
This study looks at how certain gut bacteria (methanogens) are involved in the progression of Parkinson's disease and related conditions. It aims to understand the connection between gut health and brain health, which may lead to better treatments.
This trial tests whether a daily supplement of friendly bacteria and prebiotics (called a synbiotic) can help people with Alzheimer's. It looks at how the supplement affects thinking, behavior, and daily life over time.
This trial tests a combination supplement (a synbiotic) to see if it can improve gut function and gut bacteria in middle-aged and older adults who are overweight and have constipation. If eligible, you take the supplement daily and report how your digestion feels.
