This study looks at how gut bacteria change in women with anorexia nervosa during refeeding. It aims to find new insights that could improve treatment.
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.
This trial studies whether giving healthy gut bacteria (called microbiota) can help restore normal gut-brain function in adults with anorexia nervosa. It may offer a new way to support recovery when standard treatment alone hasn't been enough.
This trial tests whether a fecal microbiota transplant (a procedure that introduces healthy gut bacteria from a donor) can help teenagers with anorexia nervosa gain weight and improve their condition.
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.
This study tests whether a fecal microbiota transplant (FMT), which introduces healthy gut bacteria from a donor, can improve eating disorder symptoms and digestive issues in people with anorexia nervosa. It may help by balancing the gut microbiome, which could affect mood and appetite.
