Family stool transplant for autism with gut symptoms
Treatments studied
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether transplanting gut bacteria from a healthy family member can improve gut symptoms and behavior in people with autism. It is a phase 1 study, meaning it is early testing to see if the treatment is safe and well-tolerated.

This study tests whether transplanting healthy donor stool (fecal microbiota) into the gut can help improve autism symptoms and digestive problems in young children. It's a new approach that might ease both stomach issues and behavioral symptoms.
This trial tests whether fecal microbiota transplantation can help children with moderate-to-severe autism. It involves giving healthy donor bacteria to improve gut health and possibly autism symptoms.
This study tests whether transplanting healthy bacteria into the gut (called fecal microbiota transplantation) can improve digestive symptoms and autism-related behaviors in children. If your child has autism and ongoing digestive issues, this treatment may help.
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 is looking at the connection between the gut and autism. It tests whether certain gut bacteria and the gut's protective barrier are different in children with autism and gastrointestinal issues. This could help find new ways to improve symptoms.
