Fecal transplant study for people with schizophrenia
Treatments studied
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial studies whether fecal microbiota transplantation (a procedure that transfers gut bacteria) can improve symptoms in people with schizophrenia. It may help by changing the gut microbiome, which researchers think could affect brain and behavior symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests if transplanting healthy bacteria into the gut can help children and young adults with autism who also have stomach problems. It aims to improve both digestive and behavioral symptoms.
This trial studies whether fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT)—a medical procedure using stool from a screened donor to restore gut bacteria—can improve safety and outcomes for people with certain bowel, immune, and metabolic conditions. It may help if your symptoms are thought to be related to an unhealthy gut microbiome, though eligibility is broad and depends on specific safety factors.
This trial tests a new way to give a fecal transplant (called washed microbiota transplantation) to adults with long-term diarrhea. The goal is to see if it helps improve stool consistency and reduce how often you need to go to the bathroom.
This study tests if a fecal transplant (putting healthy donor stool into your gut) can help people who keep having serious liver-related brain problems after a TIPS procedure, even with standard medicines. It might restore a healthier balance of gut bacteria.
