Stool transplant for children with autism and digestive issues
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether transplanting healthy donor stool (fecal microbiota) into the gut can help improve autism symptoms and digestive problems in young children. It's a new approach that might ease both stomach issues and behavioral symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether transplanting healthy bacteria into the gut (called fecal microbiota transplantation) can improve digestive symptoms and autism-related behaviors in children. If your child has autism and ongoing digestive issues, this treatment may help.
This trial tests whether a fecal transplant procedure can improve symptoms in children and teenagers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or ASD plus ADHD. Fecal transplant involves transferring healthy bacteria from a donor's gut into the patient's gut to help balance digestion and possibly affect brain function.
This trial tests whether transplanting gut bacteria from a healthy family member can improve gut symptoms and behavior in people with autism. It is a phase 1 study, meaning it is early testing to see if the treatment is safe and well-tolerated.
This study tests whether a combination of stem cell therapy, gut microbiome restoration (using specially prepared stool), and dietary changes can improve autism symptoms, communication, social behavior, and digestive issues. Researchers believe gut health and immune system problems may contribute to autism, and this trial explores whether treating these areas helps.
