Antibiotics before gut bacteria transfer for chronic constipation
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether taking antibiotics before a procedure called WMT (washing gut bacteria transfer) helps treat chronic constipation better than WMT alone. The goal is to improve bowel movements and stool consistency.

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.
This trial tests if a fecal microbiota transplant combined with nutritional support can improve chronic constipation that hasn't gotten better with standard treatments. It's a small early study to see if the approach is safe and works.
This study tests whether taking antibiotics before a fecal microbiota transplant (WMT) can improve symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It may help patients with IBS who have not found relief from other treatments.
This trial tests a treatment called washed microbiota transplantation (a procedure that delivers healthy gut bacteria to your colon) for adults with chronic constipation. The goal is to see if it can improve bowel movements without the need for laxatives.
This trial tests a new way to do a fecal transplant (called washed microbiota transplantation) to help people with long-term constipation. It uses a special device to prepare the transplant, and the goal is to see how safe and effective it is.
This trial tests a new drug called CMTS4520 for people with long-term constipation. It aims to see if the drug can help you have more bowel movements without needing laxatives or other help. The study lasts for several months and includes regular check-ups.
