The effects of lactulose on constipation in patients with Parkinson's disease: An exploratory pilot study
Introduction
Constipation is one of the most common non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) and is associated with reduced quality of life in patients with PD. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of lactulose on defecation status in patients with PD.
Methods
In this open-label, single-center, exploratory pilot study, twenty-nine patients with PD received lactulose for three weeks for the treatment of constipation. The primary endpoint was the number of spontaneous bowel movements (SBMs). The secondary endpoints were stool consistency (Bristol Stool Form Scale [BSFS]) and the number of rescue laxatives used.
Results
Twenty-five patients with PD completed the study. The number of SBMs recorded during the lactulose intervention period was significantly increased compared with that recorded during the pre-intervention period. During the intervention period, the BSFS scores of the patients increased significantly, whereas the number of rescue laxatives they used decreased significantly. No serious adverse events were observed during the study period. Lactulose was well-tolerated.
Conclusions
The results of this study suggest that lactulose may be effective in improving defecation status in patients with PD. Further randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm the effects of lactulose on constipation in patients with PD.
期刊介绍:
eNeurologicalSci provides a medium for the prompt publication of original articles in neurology and neuroscience from around the world. eNS places special emphasis on articles that: 1) provide guidance to clinicians around the world (Best Practices, Global Neurology); 2) report cutting-edge science related to neurology (Basic and Translational Sciences); 3) educate readers about relevant and practical clinical outcomes in neurology (Outcomes Research); and 4) summarize or editorialize the current state of the literature (Reviews, Commentaries, and Editorials). eNS accepts most types of manuscripts for consideration including original research papers, short communications, reviews, book reviews, letters to the Editor, opinions and editorials. Topics considered will be from neurology-related fields that are of interest to practicing physicians around the world. Examples include neuromuscular diseases, demyelination, atrophies, dementia, neoplasms, infections, epilepsies, disturbances of consciousness, stroke and cerebral circulation, growth and development, plasticity and intermediary metabolism. The fields covered may include neuroanatomy, neurochemistry, neuroendocrinology, neuroepidemiology, neurogenetics, neuroimmunology, neuroophthalmology, neuropathology, neuropharmacology, neurophysiology, neuropsychology, neuroradiology, neurosurgery, neurooncology, neurotoxicology, restorative neurology, and tropical neurology.
