Washed stool transplant for Tourette syndrome in kids
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Mental health clinical trials.
This Phase 1 study tests whether a “washed” stool microbiota transplant can reduce Tourette syndrome tics in children. It aims to see if changing gut bacteria is safe and may improve tic severity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 6 and 17 years old
- Have a Tourette syndrome diagnosis by standard criteria
- Have tic severity high enough (Yale tic score of at least 20) at screening and before treatment
- Be able to receive the washed microbiota transplant (WMT)
- Not have certain brain or serious health problems (like brain tumors, stroke, major organ failure, or serious heart disease)

This trial tests whether transplanting specially cleaned gut bacteria from healthy donors can help children with ADHD. It aims to see if improving the balance of gut bacteria can reduce ADHD symptoms.
This trial tests whether a fecal transplant procedure can improve symptoms in children and teenagers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or ASD plus ADHD. Fecal transplant involves transferring healthy bacteria from a donor's gut into the patient's gut to help balance digestion and possibly affect brain function.
This trial tests a treatment called washed microbiota transplantation (WMT), which aims to restore healthy gut bacteria to help reduce chronic diarrhea. WMT involves processing donated stool and delivering it to the patient's gut, and it may offer a new option for people who haven't found relief from other treatments.
This trial tests a treatment called washed microbiota transplantation (WMT), which involves giving healthy gut bacteria to patients who have had an organ transplant and are experiencing gut problems, infections, or rejection. The goal is to see if this can help improve their symptoms and overall health.
This trial tests if a washed microbiota transplant (a processed stool transplant from healthy donors) can help people with type 1 diabetes. It aims to see if this treatment can improve blood sugar control or reduce the need for insulin.
This trial tests a treatment called “washed microbiota transplant,” which transfers healthy gut bacteria to help relieve intestinal problems that started after cancer therapy. You might benefit if you’re an adult with certain ongoing stomach or bowel symptoms after standard cancer treatment, and your body is stable enough for the procedure.
