CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, based on the overall results of the available RCTs studies, our results suggested the potential value of probiotics in improving constipation symptoms in PD patients. Therefore, probiotics may be one of the adjuvant therapy for PD-related constipation patients. The findings of this study provide more proof supporting the effectiveness of probiotics, encouraging probiotics to be utilized alone or in combination with other therapies in clinical practice for PD patients. However, more well-designed RCTs with large sample sizes are required.PMID:38705493 | DOI:10.1016/j.ctim.2024.103045 (Source: Com...

Acupuncture for poststroke coma: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: The existing evidence suggests that acupuncture combined with conventional treatment may be an effective treatment for poststroke coma patients. In the meantime, more high-quality RCTs are needed to demonstrate these findings due to methodological weaknesses like randomization, blinding, heterogeneous interventions and long-term follow-up.PMID:38704101 | DOI:10.1016/j.ctim.2024.103046 (Source: Complementary Therapies in Medicine)

Reported biological effects following Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment: A comprehensive mapping review
CONCLUSIONS: Biological modifications that appear to be induced by OMT have been detected in several body systems, but mostly in neurophysiological correlates and musculoskeletal changes. Results suggest a growing interest over the years on this topic, especially in the last two decades. More efforts in research are recommended to highlight whether such changes specifically depend on OMT, and to demonstrate its specific contribution to clinical practice.PMID:38685285 | DOI:10.1016/j.ctim.2024.103043 (Source: Complementary Therapies in Medicine)

Efficacy of acupuncture as adjunct therapy for sleep disorders in Parkinson's disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: This study provides initial evidence that acupuncture as an adjunct therapy might be associated with improvement of sleep disorders in PD. Due to the lack of high-quality studies, larger sample size studies with sham acupuncture groups should be conducted in future.REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD42022364249 (PROSPERO).PMID:38679147 | DOI:10.1016/j.ctim.2024.103044 (Source: Complementary Therapies in Medicine)

The effects of jujube (Ziziphus jujube) on metabolic and mental health outcomes in patients with metabolic syndrome: A randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSION: Jujube consumption only had beneficial effects on WC, TG, and HDL-C in subjects with MetS. However, the current study has methodological weaknesses in blinding and herb purity/potency testing, which should be addressed in future studies.TRIAL REGISTRATION: Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (registration number: IRCT20180201038585N10; registration date: 11 April 2021), https://www.irct.ir/trial/55287.PMID:38648942 | DOI:10.1016/j.ctim.2024.103041 (Source: Complementary Therapies in Medicine)
