Abstract
The interplay between Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis (DISH) and the gut microbiota represents a compelling area of research, offering insights into the relationship between spinal degenerative diseases and the gut's microbial inhabitants. This comprehensive review seeks to unravel the complex connection, shedding light on its implications for human health and potential therapeutic avenues. A crucial section dives into the world of gut microbiota (GM), exploring its impact on human health, featuring its defining characteristics, and highlighting its role in metabolism, immunomodulation, host interaction, and how its composition changes over time. The subsequent portion delves into the relationship between microbiome composition and pathological bone development, including the link between Intervertebral Disc Degeneration (IDD) and gut inflammation, emphasizing how gut inflammation and GM dysbiosis play pivotal roles. Further dissecting the interconnections, various axes of influence, including the gut-spine axis, gut-bone axis, gut-joint axis, gut-disc axis (specific to DISH), gut-ligament axis, and gut-muscle axis, are discussed. Of particular interest is the section on the impact of GM on DISH-derived pain, addressing a critical aspect of the condition's manifestation. The review discusses the potential of GM modulation as a treatment for DISH, providing hope for therapeutic advancements. Additionally, it highlights the positive impact of lifestyle interventions, such as dietary modifications, sleep optimization, and exercise regimens, in mitigating GM dysbiosis and potentially improving DISH outcomes. Lastly, the intriguing prospect of fecal microbiome transplant and its implications for DISH management is examined, opening new avenues for research and therapeutic interventions. In conclusion, this comprehensive review underscores the intricate interplay between DISH and the gut microbiota, offering a fresh perspective on the impact of GM on spinal degenerative diseases. It emphasizes the potential for innovative treatments, such as GM modulation and lifestyle interventions, and presents fecal microbiome transplant as an exciting area for future exploration.
