Gut bacteria transplant with prebiotics for chronic constipation
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether transplanting healthy gut bacteria (microbiota) combined with prebiotics can help people with long-term constipation that hasn't gotten better with standard treatments. It may offer a new option for those who have tried laxatives and other therapies without relief.
