Snakehead fish extract for gut health and nutrition in young children
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether an extract from snakehead fish can reduce inflammation in the gut and improve nutrition in young children who are underweight. It aims to help children recover better after deworming treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how special nutrition therapy helps young children with chronic liver disease and severe malnutrition. Researchers will measure specific blood markers to see if the treatment improves your child's nutrition and liver function.
This study tests whether a special nutrition supplement can help young children (ages 1–5) who are not growing as expected. Researchers will work with Children International centers in the study area to see if the supplement helps children grow taller and healthier.
This study tests whether giving an amino acid supplement (building blocks of protein) can help heal gut damage that often affects young children with poor nutrition and stunted growth. If your child is stunted, this supplement might help them grow and absorb nutrients better.
This study is testing a new nutritional drink or powder to see if children like it, tolerate it well, and can stick with it. It replaces your child's current supplement with a new one, and researchers will check how it affects their digestion and overall health.
This study tests two types of nutritional supplements for young children in rural Guatemala who are shorter than average for their age. It aims to see which supplement works better to help them grow.
