Probiotics as a Complementary Medicine in Neurologic Disorders
This brief review summarizes the current evidence on the use of probiotics in neurological disorders, discusses potential mechanisms of action, and highlights safety considerations and limitations. Future directions include personalized probiotic therapies, large-scale randomized controlled trials, and integration with conventional neurological therapies. Overall, probiotics could be a low-risk, complementary option in the evolving field of neurotherapy, but more rigorous evidence is needed before definitive clinical recommendations can be made.
