Probiotic for stomach side effects during pelvic radiation
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests an oral probiotic (a mix of 5 good bacteria) to see if it can reduce stomach and bowel side effects from pelvic radiation. It may help people undergoing radiation for certain pelvic cancers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are at least 18 years old.
- You do not have inflammatory bowel disease (like Crohn's or ulcerative colitis).

This study tests whether a daily drink can help reduce bowel side effects caused by radiation for prostate cancer. If you are about to start radiation for intermediate to high-risk prostate cancer, you may be able to join.
This study looks at how a hormone called GLP-2 (which helps protect the gut) changes during radiation therapy to the belly or pelvis, and whether it relates to side effects like radiation enteritis (inflammation of the gut). The goal is to better understand and possibly predict these side effects to improve care.
This study tests if a traditional Chinese medicine formula (Gegen Qinlian Tang) plus probiotics can help people who have gut problems from radiation treatment for cancer. It may reduce diarrhea, pain, or other bowel symptoms caused by radiation.
This study looks at the bacteria in your gut (gut microbiome) to see how it is affected by pelvic side effects from cancer treatment, and whether ozone therapy might help. It compares patients who have chronic pelvic side effects and are treated with ozone (cases) to those who do not have these side effects (controls).
This trial tests an herbal capsule (five-flavor sophora flavescens) to see if it can ease rectal pain, bleeding, and other symptoms caused by radiation therapy to the pelvic area. The goal is to find a gentler, effective way to manage this common side effect and improve comfort.
This study looks at sexual side effects after pelvic radiation for certain cancers of the female reproductive organs. It may help improve how these problems are understood and managed after treatment.
