Influences of transcutaneous neuromodulation on fecal microbiota and short chain fatty acids in patients with functional constipation
TN treatment significantly improved the symptoms of FC patients and increased their plasma 5-HT expression levels. The correlation between 5-HT and Blautia-serotonin (which changed after TN treatment) indicated that the 5-HT changes caused by TN treatment might have a potential interaction with the dynamic changes of the intestinal microbiota.
