The Gut-Brain Axis During Neurorehabilitation; Prebiotic Treatment to Alter the Gut Microbiome and Neurologic Symptoms

Description

The aim of this study is to characterize the microbiome of patients undergoing post-acute residential neurorehabilitation compared to community controls and to determine if a dietary fiber, Inulin, can create a shift in the microbiome leading to changes in fatigue and cognition.
