Testing gut microbiome changes in adults with anorexia
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how changing the gut bacteria (microbiome) may affect people hospitalized for anorexia nervosa. You may be eligible if you’re an adult with a very low BMI and meet the study’s timing and health requirements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study is testing whether a fecal microbiota transplant (a procedure that transfers healthy gut bacteria from a donor) can help teenagers with anorexia nervosa reach a healthier weight. It may offer a new treatment option by targeting the gut-brain connection.
This study tests whether a treatment called fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) can improve gut health and reduce eating disorder symptoms in young women with anorexia nervosa who have digestive issues.
This trial tests whether taking fecal microbiome transplant (FMT) capsules can help people with anorexia nervosa. FMT uses processed stool from healthy donors to improve gut bacteria, which might support weight restoration and overall health.
