Study of Transanal Irrigation vs Standard Care for Constipation, Gut Microbiota, and Motor Disorders in Parkinson's Disease (TAI-PD)
28 de julho de 2026 atualizado por: Simona Ascanelli, University Hospital of Ferrara
Trial Comparing the Efficacy of Transanal Irrigation Versus Standard Bowel Care in Patients With Parkinson's Disease and Severe Constipation. Impact on Gut Microbiome and Motor Disorders. TAI-PD Study.
Constipation is one of the most common and disabling non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD), often resulting in reduced quality of life and increased healthcare burden. Standard bowel care (SBC), including dietary modifications, fluid intake, physical activity, and laxative therapy, may not provide adequate symptom control in patients with severe constipation.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether transanal irrigation (TAI) using the Qufora Flow device is more effective than SBC in improving bowel function in patients with PD and severe constipation. In addition to bowel symptom improvement, the study will investigate the potential effects of TAI on gut microbiota composition, motor and non-motor symptoms of PD, treatment adherence, and safety.
Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either TAI or SBC and will be followed for 24 months. Clinical assessments, patient-reported outcome measures, and stool samples will be collected throughout the study to evaluate treatment effectiveness and to explore the relationship between bowel management, gut microbiota, and Parkinson's disease progression.

Descrição detalhada
Constipation affects up to 80% of individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) and frequently precedes the onset of motor symptoms. It represents one of the most burdensome non-motor manifestations of the disease, significantly impairing quality of life and increasing the need for healthcare interventions. Despite the widespread use of standard bowel care (SBC), many patients continue to experience persistent constipation, highlighting the need for more effective therapeutic strategies.
Transanal irrigation (TAI) is an established bowel management technique that has demonstrated efficacy in patients with neurogenic bowel dysfunction resulting from spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, and other neurological disorders. However, evidence regarding its effectiveness in patients with Parkinson's disease remains limited.
This multicenter, randomized controlled trial has been designed to compare the effectiveness of TAI using the Qufora Flow device with SBC in adults with Parkinson's disease and severe constipation. The study will evaluate whether TAI provides superior long-term bowel symptom control while also investigating its impact on patient-reported outcomes, treatment adherence, and safety.
An additional objective of the study is to explore the relationship between bowel management and gut microbiota composition. Increasing evidence suggests that alterations in the gut microbiome may contribute to the pathophysiology and progression of Parkinson's disease through the gut-brain axis. By analyzing longitudinal stool samples, the study aims to determine whether improved bowel management through TAI is associated with changes in gut microbiota and whether these changes correlate with clinical outcomes.
Participants will be followed for 24 months with standardized clinical evaluations and microbiological assessments performed according to the study protocol. The findings are expected to provide new evidence regarding the role of transanal irrigation in the management of constipation associated with Parkinson's disease and to improve understanding of the relationship between bowel function, the gut microbiome, and disease manifestations.
