Fecal transplant with nutrition help for chronic constipation
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a treatment that puts healthy bacteria into your gut along with prebiotics (food for good bacteria) to help with long-lasting constipation that hasn't improved with other treatments.
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 transferring stool bacteria to the gut (fecal microbiota transplantation) can reduce symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome with constipation. It may help by changing the gut microbiome, but you must meet safety and health requirements.
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.
This trial studies whether fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT)—a medical procedure using stool from a screened donor to restore gut bacteria—can improve safety and outcomes for people with certain bowel, immune, and metabolic conditions. It may help if your symptoms are thought to be related to an unhealthy gut microbiome, though eligibility is broad and depends on specific safety factors.
