Exploring The Efficacy Of Dietary Interventions In Neurological Disorders: A Systematic Analysis
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Neurological diseases resulting from nervous system injuries can significantly impact nutritional status and the physical and cognitive capacities necessary for maintaining a sufficient diet. This study focuses on primary nutritional therapies for neurological illnesses.
Methods: An integrative literature review was conducted using three databases: PePSIC, Medline, and LILACS. A comprehensive search strategy was employed, incorporating descriptors such as neuropathies, nutritional therapy, efficacy, and side effects.
Results: After applying inclusion criteria, 175 relevant items were identified. While traditional medical interventions for neurological conditions typically involve medication, food therapy has shown promise in enhancing clinical outcomes and alleviating symptoms for certain diseases. Specifically, food therapy has been effective in improving the prognosis of adrenoleukodystrophy and mitigating symptoms of Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome and epilepsy.
Conclusion: Patients with neurological illnesses, such as adrenoleukodystrophy, Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, and epilepsy, may benefit from dietary interventions to improve prognosis and alleviate symptoms. Therefore, healthcare professionals should consider incorporating food therapy into the treatment plans for these conditions to optimize patient outcomes.
