NCT ID NCT06463769
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether an 8-week plant-based diet, rich in fiber and low in processed foods, can improve gut bacteria and reduce inflammation in people with Parkinson's disease. Researchers will track 75 participants to see if the diet leads to healthier gut microbes and better overall health. The goal is to find a simple, low-risk way to support Parkinson's management.

Active substance
predominantly plant-based New Nordic low-processed food (LPF) diet
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that a simple dietary change helps manage Parkinson's symptoms by improving gut health and reducing inflammation.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial (75 people) testing a behavioral change, not a drug. Results may not apply to everyone, and long-term adherence to the diet is uncertain.
