Modulating the Gut Microbiome as a Therapeutic Approach in Multiple Sclerosis: Implications for Gut‐Brain Interactions and Immune Pathways: A Narrative Review
Interventions aimed at the microbiome are promising as adjunct approaches to the treatment of MS, acting principally through the restoration of SCFAs, immune modulation, and strengthening of the gut-brain axis. Larger, longer-term randomized trials are required to confirm clinical efficacy, define responder phenotypes, and inform personalized microbiome-based therapies.
