This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a probiotic supplement called Clostridium Butyricum Miyairisan to see if it can help improve both movement problems (like tremor and stiffness) and non-movement symptoms (like mood changes or sleep issues) in people with Parkinson's disease. The medication is a type of beneficial gut bacteria that comes in oral form. Researchers want to understand whether taking this treatment for one year can make a meaningful difference in how patients feel and function.
Recent research suggests that gut bacteria may play an important role in Parkinson's disease, and some early evidence indicates this type of probiotic could help ease symptoms. This trial aims to test whether the medication is truly effective and safe for Parkinson's patients in a careful, rigorous way.

You'll attend an outpatient clinic visit where a doctor explains the trial and you'll sign a consent form. You'll then be randomly assigned to one of two groups: either take the medication for one year and then stop for one year, or wait a year and then take the medication for one year. Throughout the 2-year study, you'll have regular check-in visits where researchers ask you about your symptoms using standardized questionnaires and may collect samples (such as blood or stool) to track how the treatment is working.
