Description
Juliana Heitich Brendler and colleagues outline the NUTRI-GUT-PD trial, a 2026 protocol on dietitian care for constipation in Parkinson's disease. Constipation troubles many patients and standard care leans on general advice or laxatives. Diet could help, but Parkinson's makes eating management more complex than simple rules.
Fifty-four outpatients without dementia who meet Rome IV criteria for functional constipation will join the 90-day trial. One group receives personal nutritional counselling from a dietitian, while the other gets usual care. Stool samples will feed gut microbe analysis, and three day-long diet recalls capture eating patterns. Constipation scores, body measures and nerve assessments frame the comparison.
