Fecal transplant for fibromyalgia pain relief
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether transferring healthy gut bacteria from a donor can reduce pain in women with fibromyalgia. You would first take antibiotics and laxatives to prepare your gut, then receive the transplant through a colonoscopy.

This study tests whether a fecal microbiota transplant (a procedure that transfers healthy bacteria into your gut) can reduce inflammation and improve symptoms in people with inflammatory back pain (axial spondyloarthritis). It may help if your current treatments are not working well enough.
This trial tests whether transferring stool bacteria to the gut (fecal microbiota transplantation) can reduce symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome with constipation. It may help by changing the gut microbiome, but you must meet safety and health requirements.
This study tests whether a fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) — transferring healthy stool bacteria into your gut — can help people with severe irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) that hasn't improved after trying at least two other treatments.
This study tests whether transferring gut bacteria from a healthy donor to a participant can reduce irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms related to food sensitivity. You may be asked to follow a low-FODMAP diet and receive a fecal microbiota transplant if you meet the study’s safety and health requirements.
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 study tests whether transplanting healthy gut bacteria (microbiota) combined with prebiotics can help people with long-term constipation that hasn't gotten better with standard treatments. It may offer a new option for those who have tried laxatives and other therapies without relief.
