Fecal transplant for autism with gut issues in children
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether transferring healthy donor bacteria into the gut (fecal microbiota transplantation) can improve both bowel problems and autism symptoms in children. It is for children with autism who have had diarrhea or constipation for at least two months.

This trial tests whether fecal microbiota transplantation can help children with moderate-to-severe autism. It involves giving healthy donor bacteria to improve gut health and possibly autism symptoms.
This study tests if transplanting healthy bacteria into the gut can help children and young adults with autism who also have stomach problems. It aims to improve both digestive and behavioral symptoms.
This trial tests whether transferring healthy bacteria from donor stool into the gut can improve stomach problems and autism symptoms in children. It is for children ages 3 to 6 who have autism and ongoing digestive issues like diarrhea, belly pain, or constipation.
This Phase 1 study tests whether a “familial” fecal microbiota transplant (FMT, stool-based treatment from a family-related donor) is safe and potentially helpful for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) with gut symptoms. It may help by changing gut bacteria, which researchers believe could affect behavior and development for some people.
This study tests whether transferring healthy bacteria into the gut (called a fecal transplant) can improve symptoms of autism and ADHD in children and teens. It may help by fixing gut health problems that can affect behavior.
This study tests a probiotic (good bacteria) formula for children with autism who also have stomach or bowel problems. It aims to see if the probiotic can help with both gut and autism symptoms.
