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 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.
