Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
After 12 weeks Intermittent theta burst stimulation and probiotics will improve motor symptoms and neural plasticity along with changes in gut-brain axis in PD Patients.Timepoint: 1. All scales and Parameters (MDS-UPDRS, corticomotor <br/ ><br>excitability parameters, Electrogastrography Assessment) will be recorded at Baseline (immediately after recruitment) <br/ ><br>2. After 12 weeks of probiotic supplementation, MDS-UPDRS, corticomotor <br/ ><br>excitability parameters, Electrogastrography Assessment will be done. <br/ ><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The combinatorial therapeutic strategy of probiotics along with intermittent theta bust stimulation will be able to restore the non-motor and autonomic nervous system functions in PD patients.Timepoint: 1. Base line assessment (after recruitment) of Orthostatic hypotension questionnaire: Orthostatic hypotension symptom assessment (OHSA) and Orthostatic hypotension daily activity scale (OHDAS), Supine, sitting and standing blood pressure assessment will be done. <br/ ><br>2. At the end of 12 weeks, post intervention assessment of all above mentioned parameters and assessment will be done.
