This trial tests if a fecal microbiota transplant combined with nutritional support can improve chronic constipation that hasn't gotten better with standard treatments. It's a small early study to see if the approach is safe and works.
This study tests whether giving antibiotics before a fecal microbiota transplant (a procedure that delivers healthy donor stool into your colon) improves treatment for chronic constipation. You will need to stop certain medications and undergo a colonoscopy-based procedure, with close follow-up.
This trial tests whether fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) can safely and effectively treat mild to moderate ulcerative colitis over the long term. FMT involves transferring stool from a healthy donor to restore a healthy balance of gut bacteria.
This trial studies fecal microbiota transplantation (a stool-based treatment) to improve symptoms and safety in people with certain gut and immune conditions. It aims to see whether changing gut bacteria can help you feel better.
This study tests a special treatment called washed microbiota transplantation for chronic constipation. It uses healthy donor bacteria to help improve your bowel movements.
This trial tests a treatment called washed microbiota transplantation (a procedure that delivers healthy gut bacteria to your colon) for adults with chronic constipation. The goal is to see if it can improve bowel movements without the need for laxatives.
